Maningo was easy-going and fun to be around. He was skillful at spotting the wildlife, and extremely patient in waiting for certain behaviors (like lions coming together to mate!). He drove us in the various parks for many hours a day (often 10-11!), and worked to try to find cheetahs in particular, driving in remote regions of Tarangire. He drove quite slowly, searching for wildlife, which took some adjusting to, but when we had a long travel day driving from the Serengeti to Ngorongoro, he pushed the pedal to the metal! He’s a skillful driver on those terrible roads! Amongst all the rattling noises of the Land Rover, he distinguished a particular noise that was new, and took it to a mechanic in Karatu to have it checked. It turned out there was a part that had broken and needed welding. Thank goodness he followed his instinct, or we may have gotten stranded! We are very grateful to Maningo for an incredible experience.
“Access 2 Tanzania was a phenomenal service from start to finish. Going into this trip, I had no idea how to go about planning Safari. From the first phone consultation with Karen, she laid out my options and available price ranges. Throughout the planning process, she was organized and always very responsive by email.
But the best part of the trip was our wonderful guide, Wilfred. He was knowledgeable, responsible, trustworthy, and just a fun guy to hang out with for several days. Would 100% recommend him, he made our safari the trip of a lifetime.”
