Couldn’t be better. Maningo is knowledgeable, tireless, kind, careful, responsive, and fun to be with (important given our 10-12 hour days over the course of a week). He intuitively knew when to linger to let us see/photo animals or just take it all in. Although we don’t understand Swahili, we could tell people were happy to see and talk to him by the smiles on their faces. He seemed to make everyone around him happier—a remarkable trait.
“You did a great job making sure you understood what kind of trip we wanted while planning our itinerary, and I was just as impressed when we got to Tanzania. I feel that the guide can often “make or break” a safari– and I felt Said did a great job. He spotted many animals and did not rely on radio contacts with other guides.”
