Maningo was great. He was friendly, knowledgeable, knew where to find game, rest stops and all the roads in the 3 national parks. He kept current on game drives with his contacts and radio. He was always timely and ready to get going. He made sure the vehicle was ready and well stocked. He spotted game that we would never have seen on our own. He spoke excellent English.

Maningo was outstanding. No complaints.

Maningo was great – super accommodating and friendly. He was a careful driver and was very fair when other people wanted their turn to see the animals.

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.

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.

Maningo is a great guide and I highly recommend him.

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 he has been a safari guide for 15+ years and it shows, his driving and navigation skills were top notch. We encountered some muddy roads and never got stuck but did stop to help another vehicle that wasn’t so lucky. Most importantly to us, Maningo was very kind, friendly and personable. He tuned in to our personalities very quickly and we had the best time talking and joking around with him.

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.

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.
