Magical
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.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
