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.
“I was incredibly impressed by Access 2 Tanzania. From out initial consultation experiences with Casey to our wonderful experiences on safari with our guide Ray, your company is unrivaled. In addition, we were highly impressed when Access 2 Tanzania was able to find us wonderful accommodations last minute after our original accommodations were shut down due to a fire. Other companies would not have worked that diligently to rectify the situation. Finally, the entire trip was very well organized and well paced, striking the right balance between adventure and relaxation.”
