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!
“Very well-run, well-organized, company. I appreciated not having to do the thinking – A2T anticipated every step, every question, it was like they knew exactly what I’d be thinking about and when leading up to the trip; and once on the trip, I was very impressed with the foresight and planning to ensure a smooth experience.”
