Incredible safari with Richard!

Reviewed October 13, 2019

We went on a 5 day safari to Taragire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Richard as our guide for our honeymoon and had the most incredible experience. 

Richard has an extensive knowledge of every park that we visited and where the animals tend to congregate during each season. We were able to see all of the big 5 (including 3 rhinos which are super difficult to find this time of year!), plus a few cheetahs and some amazing scenes of the Great Migration where we must have seen over 2 million migrating animals (we were told this is pretty rare). Richard clearly has a lot of experience working with the other guides and was able to quickly tell whether what other guides were seeing was worth driving to or whether it would be too crowded or far away. 

I think our biggest surprise of the trip was how much we learned. Richard was able to not only identify every animal that we saw (as well as their mating and hunting habits), he even knew every bird, flower and tree type as well! He was even able to provide insightful responses to a lot of our non-safari related questions about Tanzania and the Maasai tribes. 

Overall we couldn't recommend Richard enough, he was very kind, profressional, punctual, and humorous. Thank you Richard for an unforgettable honeymoon!

    Richard Peter is an experiened and patient guide who answered all our questions about the wildlife and culture of Tanzania.  We managed to see UP CLOSE 3 out of the 'Big 5'  African animals in 2 days. We spotted the other 2 using  binoculars provided by Richard (nice touch).  It was because of Richard's  experience that we were lucky enough to see the Rhino and Leopard. 

    Richard is very accommodating and knowledgable. 

    Since my wife likes to shop, he  drove us to one of the new markets where she was very happy with her purchases. 

    I highly recommend Richard Peter if  you are looking for someone who is experienced, patient, accommodating, and

    knowledgable. Make sure you ask Richard about his most memorable safari experience. I think you will find it fascinating!

    My wife and I booked our 4-Day Safari with Good Earth Tours & Safaris, and we were very fortunate to have Richard as our guide and driver. Not only was he punctual, but he was friendly, knowledgeable, and always accomodating. We saw Tarangire National Park on day 1, Serengeti National Park on days 2 and 3 and Ngorongoro Crater on day 4.

    Richard was a fantastic guide that knew every animal we saw and had a book with pictures to reference on our safari. He also had a great eye and spotted animals from very far away, an ability that is very valuable on these expeditions. Whenever we had a question, he always knew the answer.

    Richard was also a safe driver and told us about the towns and places we drove through on our way to the safari parks, a nice addition to our trip. If we wanted to stop somewhere or take a picture of something, he obliged without hestistation.

    We highly recommend Richard as your tour guide for your next safari! We saw so many animals (even super rare ones like leopards, cheetahs, and servals) and was more than satisfied with him and his overall professionalism. When we come back for the wet season tour, we're definitely requesting Richard again!
