We feel we got the best guide in Tanzania. Every day, Mr. Maningo asked us what we wanted to see, and then he would find it. He loves to laugh and joke. He left his wife and newborn child in the hospital to fulfill his obligation to us. He knows how to network with other drivers to find the great sights of the Serengeti. He has the patience of Job in tracking and waiting; he is sensitive about when we want to continue watching something and when we had enough. He is mature and very experienced. When we got a flat tire, he changed it with minimal fuss (fortunately no lions about!). If he ever gets vexed, he doesn’t show it. If we wanted to head out at sunrise or be the last straggler out of the crater to catch the rhinos, he was agreeable. A great person to spend a week with.
“Loved it! Not sure on your other guides, David was amazing! I kept asking him to get out of the car and he wouldn’t let me, by the end he said just go, just kidding LOL – we had so much fun with him. He was so knowledgeable about animals, birds, the area, the people – it was wonderful. As the days wore on we could see how lucky we were to have David with his experience.”
