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.
“I’m impressed! All our dealings with Access2Tanzania were highly professional and responsive to our needs and interests. Once in Tanzania it was clear that our planning and communication with Karen and staff paid off. Overall, the trip exceeded my wildest expectations! I would not hesitate to recommend Access2Tanzania to anyone–and have, in fact, already supplied a friend with contact information for Karen. At the end of many trips I’m ready to go home. In this case, not. Our guide, David, worked extremely hard to provide us with the best possible game (and bird) experience. It was evident that he was proud of working for Access2Tanzania.”
