Maningo was easy-going and fun to be around. He was skillful at spotting the wildlife, and extremely patient in waiting for certain behaviors (like lions coming together to mate!). He drove us in the various parks for many hours a day (often 10-11!), and worked to try to find cheetahs in particular, driving in remote regions of Tarangire. He drove quite slowly, searching for wildlife, which took some adjusting to, but when we had a long travel day driving from the Serengeti to Ngorongoro, he pushed the pedal to the metal! He’s a skillful driver on those terrible roads! Amongst all the rattling noises of the Land Rover, he distinguished a particular noise that was new, and took it to a mechanic in Karatu to have it checked. It turned out there was a part that had broken and needed welding. Thank goodness he followed his instinct, or we may have gotten stranded! We are very grateful to Maningo for an incredible experience.
“Access 2 Tanzania provide excellent service from the initial inquiries to returning home with unforgettable memories. The planning process felt very collaborative and productive. All participants were heard and had their questions answered. The choices of lodging and flow of the entire trip were comfortable and met all of our goals. Our group felt very supported and safe throughout the adventure. Because we were familiar with many other’s experiences, we had extremely high expectations and not only were they met, but were exceeded! Thank you to Karen and staff for the planning and guidance.”
