The booking process was very simple and easy. I emailed the group and received a response in a timely manner. I had no idea what I wanted to do, all I knew was that I wanted to see some animals, and relax on my honeymoon. Gemma, the coordinator asked me a few simple questions such as what kind of lodging I wanted (luxury or tent or camps) and a few other questions. Shortly after, I received a 12 day itinerary created for me by Gemma. It was perfect, and I booked immediately. There was also options for add ons such as a hot air balloon safari, or treetop walkway, etc.
When arriving in Arusha, Roy safaris had someone pick us up and bring us to our hotel. The following day we met with Gemma who once again went over our itinerary in detail, and even gave us a Roy Safari t shirt. We then met our guide Emmanuel ( “Manny”). While on safari, the vehicle was comfortable, we were always provided with enough water, and the boxed lunches from each of the accommodations made sure we were not hungry.
Now to Emmanuel. There are many words I can use to describe our Safari Guide, but here are just a few most important: intelligent, kind, and trustworthy. We constantly joked around that Manny was a human GPS. He knew exactly where he was at any given moment, even in the middle of the vast Serengeti. We felt safe with our guide Manny, and trusted that he would bring us to each place safely. From the very beginning, Manny practiced exceptional and professional service. My husband and I were blown away at his intelligence, every question we asked, he had an answer. I can wholeheartedly say that this man has a passion for his job, Safari and all the animals. He has an appreciation for what he does, and it truly shows. His passion for animals was made clearly evident, and he would stop at nothing to ensure we were able to get the best views and photos. Manny made sure our experience and time in Africa was as best as it could be, and always looked after us. He provided us with useful information such as where to get the most authentic souvenirs or even coffee. Every night after dinner he seemed to somehow find us, and always ask if we were enjoying our stay and our meal. By the end of the trip, we had made a great connection with our guide and we were even able to enjoy some dinners with him, share some laughs and create some inside jokes that we will hold onto forever. He has a great sense of humor, and we will definitely miss our time with him. We are so lucky to have made such a great friend in Africa, and hope we can one day meet again. If you book with Roy Safaris, we recommend without a doubt to request Emmanuel as your guide. You will not be disappointed.
Overall, our experience with Roy Safaris has been phenomenal, and we could not ask for anything more, or anything different. Thank you to Manny & Gemma from Roy Safaris, for making this the most epic honeymoon and vacation ever!!
