A great safari with a great guide
Maningo was very attentive to our every need. He was amazing at spotting animals and getting in spots for GREAT photos. While he was great and I can’t say enough about his kindness and knowledge base, one thing stood out. We had stopped at a Masai village for a visit and a very young (2-3) year old boy really affected my wife. He would hold her little finger and walk with her and after we left, I had forgotten to leave the tip that I had in my pocket. My wife was really sorry and gave Maningo some money to take there the next time he took tourists there as it was a little out of the way. He said he would and we felt like he would but you never know. At the end of the safari, we flew back to Arusha to be picked up by another guide to be taken later to the airport for our flight home. The other guide showed us a photo that Maningo sent to him to show us. He had about a 7-8 hour drive back to see his family that he hadn’t seen in 7 days but he went out of his way to take the money to the mother and little child and sent us a photo with them and him smiling. It made my wife cry and make a memory for life.
Thank you Maningo!!!
“Wow. It couldn’t have been better. We knew from the outset that we had picked the right tour company and it was made even more evident as we met other travelers and heard about their itineraries and accommodations. Every single detail was taken care of. All we had to do was live it. 🙂 We were fully informed on the logistics and details before we left and that made it so easy to know how to tip and what to pack, for example. It’s a big adventure, and somewhat daunting to plan for, but A2T took the guesswork out of it.”
