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.
“My partner and I were extremely impressed by the level of care, planning, and thoughtfulness which A2T and its representatives exhibited. In relative terms, our trip came together at a fairly late stage (2 months), and Casey, who was our consultant, made it all happen. Our guide Barney, who was with us for the entire time we were in Tanzania, was absolutely top notch. Overall, we were extremely pleased, and would recommend A2T (and Barney) to anyone travelling to Tanzania.”
