Maningo is simply an amazing guide and a credit to his profession. From our first meeting to our sad farewell he did everything possible to make our safari meaningful, educational and beautiful. He is passionate about his work and we caught his enthusiasm for Tanzania and its treasures. At the end of our time together, on the the way to the airport he wouldn’t rest until we saw a male lion and a leopard to give us our “big five”. He showed us so many amazing things and taught us that patience pays off with animals as it did when we saw a lion kill an antelope right in front of us. We were two women travelling together and we were safe, respected and fortunate to have such a skilled guide to help us navigate a trip of a lifetime.
“Outstanding. We have recommended you to all of our traveler friends. We cannot recommend Access 2 Tanzania highly enough. They were referred to us by a friend and we were immediately attracted by the nonprofit component of the company that supports education for Tanzanian children in need. Casey helped us over several phone sessions and email exchanges to put together the perfect trip for our needs. Our guide, Joachim, was a wonderful companion and friend throughout our 12 day safari. He ensured that we saw everything that we could possibly have seen far beyond our best expectations, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards with cubs and with kills, tons of elephants, giraffe, zebras, hippos, antelopes of various kinds, and every other imaginable animal. We were able to witness the migration of the wildebeasts across the Mara River from Kenya and on throughout the Serengeti in their long lines, stretching from one horizon to the other. He was also extremely helpful in aiding us in finding and identifying the many, many birds of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, which was of particular interest to us. A2T provided us with an amazing experience and we would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”
