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.

“Access 2 Tanzania was 10/10! This trip was a dream come true and well exceeded my expectations! From the planning stages through the execution of the trip, I was thoroughly impressed. I really appreciated the time Casey took to go over all of the details and to ensure that every aspect of the trip aligned with the vision. Casey was extremely thorough, thoughtful and timely throughout the entire process. The level of professionalism of each staff member that we worked with was excellent! Would absolutely refer others to this company and will certainly use again!”
