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!
“Was a brilliantly organised trip. Casey gave good, honest advice and managed to fit everything into our itinerary. I felt well prepared before my trip and during. We had Fulgence as our guide and could not have had anyone better. He was so organised and so fun to be around. Given that our party consisted of 3 girls, he was very patient and joked around with us, which made our trip even better. Our cook ‘Big’ was great as well. A really good cook and was fun to be around too. We did not stop laughing for a week. The safari was amazing. Fulgence had eyes like a hawk – I have no idea how he spotted some of the animals he did. Overall we would recommend Access 2 Tanzania to anyone looking for a safari to Tanzania.”
