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.
“Excellent
I appreciated the contact before the trip and the information supplied to help prepare for the trip. (ie cultural info/packing tips)
Casey was timely in answering emails and easy to deal with.
The itinerary really was well thought out and was well suited for the group. It is a timetable that I would recommend to anyone.
I wasn’t the main organizer so can only answer for my direct contact but I found the organisation and professionalism to be excellent.”
