Asante Sana the Great Maningo!
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.
“Outstanding in every way. The entire organization was professional, responsive, and informative from the first phone conversation until the final good byes at the airport to come home. Casey delivered on everything that was requested, augmented and improved the vaguest of ideas, and ensured that every detail was seen to. And David – how can I speak kindly enough about someone who meant so much to our family and whose prowess, patience, and personality literally made dreams come true? Exceptional work on the part of everyone at A2T.”
