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!
“As we visited three parks in the southern/western part of Tanzania (Selous,Ruaha and Katavi) our trip was not under direct control of A2T. However, all worked out perfectly and A2T did a great job in making the arrangements. Fully realize that making arrangements in a country like Tanzania without direct control over these arrangements is not easy but you all did a great job”
