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.
“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.”
