Tanzania Guide: Maningo
Super Great Safari!
Maningo was a rare combination of professional, attentive and patient (especially as we tried so hard to learn Swahili!). He knew so much about the animals.
Truly the experience of a lifetime!
We really liked Maningo! He was very kind and thoughful and went out of his way to provide an awesome experience. We liked him so much that we invited him to join us on our last night in Tanzania for dinner.
Another great trip with A2T
Maningo is a great guide and I highly recommend him.
Access 2 Tanzania – 11 out of 10
We would rate Maningo with 11s across the board if we could – he was wonderful! He has an impressive eye for identifying, tracking and spotting animals. Our first full day with him at Lake Manyara he spotted a group of lions in a bush that several other guides had missed. He taught us how to identify different types of gazelle and has an incredible knack for reading animal behavior. We were able to watch a lioness hunt and a wildebeest give birth thanks to his instincts. He told us … Read More
Review of Maningo
We thoroughly enjoyed spending our week with Maningo. He was patient. kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent and cautious driver that made us feel safe at all times no matter the terrain. He has a nice sense of humor that made his presence very pleasurable and he was always attentive, respectful and discreet. He was always ready with information about the wildlife including access to a handy reference guide and an app to identify bird calls.
Trip of a lifetime!
Maningo was charming, knowledgeable, and a great driver! He did his best to accommodate our needs and was genuinely excited to share his knowledge of the Serengeti.
Unforgettable
Maningo was amazing!! Super knowledgeable and and always able to get us to just the right spot to have some amazing animal encounters. He’s also hilarious, and kept us laughing throughout the trip.
Perfect Safari, Great Guide
I can’t imagine a better guide than Maningo. In addition to being extremely fun to be around and enjoyable to talk to, he was totally organized and punctual and knew everything we needed to know as we progressed through the safari. He ensured that every step of the trip went smoothly and that we didn’t have to second guess anything or keep track of all the details, enabling us to focus on the wildlife and relaxing in the evenings. Finally, Maningo’s knowledge of wildlife, his ability to spot animals, and … Read More
Awesome safari in Tanzania
Maningo was great! He shared lots of interesting facts and stories about the animals we saw and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. He was also very respectful of the wildlife. We saw other trucks that would pull as close to the animal as possible while they were trying to cross a road or move away from the vehicles and Maningo never did that. He would find a good spot and stay there and wait for the animal to come close. He always made sure we had … Read More
Lions and Zebras and Leopards…Oh My!
Maningo is wonderful. I think he loved the animals as much as we did. He has a laid back personality and is pretty relaxed.
