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 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 was amazing from start to finish. The planning process was easy and Karen was super helpful and answered my many questions. Noel was an incredible guide and I’m so glad I was paired with him for the trip. All the other guides seemed really nice that we met along the way and my last day guide was wonderful.”
