Maningo has a deft touch, both in interpersonal relations (his great sense of humor, and ability to imitate American accents helped) and in sensing the group’s interests and needs. If I had to make a criticism, I’d note our occasional frustration as to where he was taking us on game drives; at times we would have liked to know that, “we’re driving down near the river, hoping to see X or Y,” but I’m pretty sure he was reluctant to spell out his plans because he didn’t want us to get our hopes up.
Talking to travellers we met I felt most of them thought THEIR guide the best in the business; with Maningo, I’m pretty sure he really WAS one such guide!
“Access 2 Tanzania provide excellent service from the initial inquiries to returning home with unforgettable memories. The planning process felt very collaborative and productive. All participants were heard and had their questions answered. The choices of lodging and flow of the entire trip were comfortable and met all of our goals. Our group felt very supported and safe throughout the adventure. Because we were familiar with many other’s experiences, we had extremely high expectations and not only were they met, but were exceeded! Thank you to Karen and staff for the planning and guidance.”
