Maningo was great! He shared lots of interesting facts and stories about the animals we saw and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. He was also very respectful of the wildlife. We saw other trucks that would pull as close to the animal as possible while they were trying to cross a road or move away from the vehicles and Maningo never did that. He would find a good spot and stay there and wait for the animal to come close. He always made sure we had everything we needed and that we were spending our time on safari the way we wanted. It was great getting to know him throughout the week and our safari wouldn’t have been the same without him!
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
