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!

“Outstanding. The sequence and quality of lodging was perfect, Gerry our guide was amazing. I have already suggested A2T to 5 friends who are looking for safari experiences and we filled out TripAdvisor a couple of weeks ago with a 5 star review.”
