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.
“We were really pleased with A2T’s communication. They returned our phone call on a weekend and we had an itinerary a few days later. Casey was able to accommodate our four children (ages 10 and under) and that’s quite a feat! We read testimonials on TripAdvisor and pored over the A2T website as we became more excited about our trip. Casey spent a lot of time on the phone with us as we made travel decisions and sought advice on everything from what to pack to the timing of our international flights!”
