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!
“A2T is a very well run company. I was impressed that you hired only full time guide and when all 12 guides are booked, you don’t go out to hire others short term. I also appreciated your info on vehicle maintenance and safety. Casey was personable, always had time for me and was patient with me changing the itinerary several times. He respected my budget and found extra lodging with helpful staff and yummy food.”
