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!!!
“Exceptional service all around. I liked both how responsive the company was in preparation for the trip, and the quality of the overall experience during the trip. I liked the accommodations and the parks, and how Karen worked with us ahead of time to meet our individual needs. I thought the price paid for the safaris set up by Access2Tanzania was a good value considering the price of entrance to the parks. I liked how the itinerary which Access2Tanzania set up was full because that is what we wanted, but still we had the ability to alter it for some relaxing downtime in front of amazing African vistas if we desired. I also like how Access2Tanzania gives back to the poor in Tanzania. I liked how the price was all inclusive, except for drinks and tips.”
