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.
“Very positive. Casey was very responsive and helpful in planning the trip. We told him vaguely what we wanted to do and he planned an agenda. He also explored options that we were interested in but in the end did not include in our trip. He was willing to meet with us personally and walk thru the trip with us which was very helpful in answering questions and dealing withthe anxiety we had.”
