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.
“From my very first phone call with Karen, I felt supported and guided. My ideas were listened to and helpful feedback/suggestions/modifications were given. It was a source of comfort to be able to put my trust in Access2Tanzania. From the beginning of the planning stages all the way to the last communications before leaving the USA, to Tanzanian component, to the post trip emails – I knew I was in good hands- that Access2Tanzania truly cared about us and our overall experience. The scheduled phone conferences were so very helpful. The information and links on the Access2Tanzania website were extremely helpful. A2T!!”
