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!
“We were immediately impressed by our travel consultant Casey. He was able to not only answer questions pertaining to the services offered by Access but also best practices, expectations, and opinions. As we were not very knowledgeable on where to stay and what to visit at this time, Casey was extremely knowledgeable when it came time to helping us with decisions about when to book the Safari, where to stay and what our expectations could be.”
