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!
“We had a fantastic experience throughout the planning process and during our Safari. It was clear from the start how knowledgable Karen was. The attention to detail to ensure we had the best possible experience was obvious and much appreciated. I had full confidence going into our Safari that we had picked the right company to give us exactly the Safari experience we were looking for.”
