A great guide leads to a great safari
Alex was outstanding! He had a great personality and sense of humor which added tremendously to our enjoyment of the trip. Alex also had great knowledge about the animals and even more than that, he showed an obvious love for the animals from rock pythons to tommys. He also had a deep knowledge of their behavior and habitat. Alex was amazing at spotting animals – to the point we called him binocular eyes.
An excellent driver, Dad felt comfortable falling asleep in the vehicle. Alex knew the answers to all the questions my father asked, including very specific and technical questions.
Alex was also quite deft at balancing the desires of my Mom, Dad and me. He was open to new experiences, including chasing down the director of a research center in the Serengeti. Getting back in the vehicle, he was excited “to have learned something new.”
Overall we could not have been happier with Alex.
“Five star! Eleven out of ten! Simply a flawless, stress free and fabulous experience from beginning to end!! Our beginning was pre-COVID 2019 and we embarked on our safari in 2023 so our relationship lasted for 4 years. During that long uncertain time, not once did we feel like our safari experience was at risk. From the first time I spoke with Casey to plan our trip, it was smooth sailing. Karen was amazing at keeping us on track with the payments and the daunting visa process and I simply can’t put into words how incredible both Maningo was at intuitively giving us the best safari experiences I could have ever imagined!”
