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 traveled as part of the donor trip. This was my second trip with Access. Myself and my daughter were well informed in the planning stages in regards to packing, medical info, and the itinerary. The logistics in country worked quite smoothly. It was extra special to meet Brian Singer. His vision and passion for the people of Tanzania has an amazing mix of idealism and practicality.
I appreciated to mix of accommodations; lodges, tented camps, and a village home. A2T did an excellent job and I would recommend them to anyone traveling to Tanzania and/or Rwanda.”
