Maningo is an amazing guide!! I can’t rate him highly enough!! From the moment our feet touched the ground in Tanzania to the moment we took off for Rwanda, Maningo effortlessly took care of every detail of our stay making our experience the absolute best it could be. He is extremely knowledgeable about the country, people and the animals and is generous about sharing his insights. He is also fun with a great sense of humor which kept us engaged and entertained during our dawn to dusk outings. He was happy to let us get every moment of every day on safari, more often than not, racing back to camp as darkness fell. It was with a heart full of thankfulness and sadness that we waved goodbye to Maningo after 8 magnificent days in Tanzania.
“First of all, I love that it is associated with Project Zawadi. It felt good enjoying the tour and knowing we were contributing to educational projects in Tanzania. Everything was done professionally and very much catered to our needs. Our guides were fabulous! We asked them hundreds of questions and they could answer about most everything – animal habits, climate, geography. My companion was older and a good friend, but I found she often relied on my to carry her things, help her with her camera or help her in and out of the jeep. It wasn’t long before Wilfred noticed and stepped in. And he did it in a way that made her feel special. His taking on this extra responsibility allowed me to more freely enjoy myself and not miss some of the opportunities I might have if he had not been looking out for her. Ray told us, “You came us our guest but we left as friends.” I couldn’t agree more.”
