Excellent, first-rate!
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!
“Our trip preparation was totally seamless process. Access 2 Tanzania took care of everything. I couldn’t even imagine that everything would run so perfectly smoothly and 100 percent on time at every step of the way. Our guide Maningo was totally amazing and such a delight to spend the week with. His expertise and work ethic was just extraordinary! We had the pleasure of meeting many of the behind the scenes personnel at the A2T office in Arusha as well. The staff there were equally amazing and such gracious and welcoming hosts for a delicious lunch they served us on the day of our departure back to the States.”
