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!
“Access 2 Tanzania is a small well run organization. The safari consultants are knowledgeable and are willing to make suggestions to plan the best safari based on individual preferences . Casey took the time to understand what I liked and disliked as well as our budget constraints. His suggestion to travel the last week of May was great. The guides were fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional.. We definitely enjoyed his sense of humor. The excursions ( hike and bike ) were wonderful and a nice change of pace. Everything was beyond expectations. The vehicle and refreshments were top notch.”
