An Excellent Adventure Thanks to A2T and Maningo
We truly enjoyed our time with Maningo. As you know, he is friendly, skilled, knowledgable, curious, and enthusiastic. We were blown away by his ability to drive safely over very challenging terrain while simultaneously spotting animals that blend in well with their surroundings. He shares sightings with other guides, but finds many amazing animals on his own. We were able to view a successful zebra hunt by a very patient lion because Maningo’s patience matched the lion’s. (Pretty much all of the other guides who had been watching left before the action.)
After checking in at the Sopa, Maningo asked us about our room. We said were slightly disappointed because the view was partially obscured by trees. After returning from our rim walk, Maningo spoke to a manager who switched us to a different room with a breathtaking view. (All of our rooms at other lodgings seemed to be the best of the lot, thanks.)
We would love to return sometime and would certainly request Maningo, even though I suspect all of your guides are good.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
