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.
“Excellent! We loved every minute of the trip. Ray was an excellent guide who has a wealth of knowledge and is a wonderful person as well. It was truly the trip of a lifetime that lived up to our high expectations!! The information provided ahead for planning was very helpful and it was apparent that Karen and the rest of the company have a lot of knowledge about the country and all of the possible sites. Also Access was very responsive to any questions we had.”
