Maningo was absolutely great. He is very competent and knows birds and mammals equally well. He was very patient and did everything he could to accommodate us. He worked very hard to find mammals, and get us into position to take good photos. We had a 7 month old baby with us and Maningo adored her. If we needed to stop for a diaper change, Maningo accommodated our needs. The baby worked out just great. Sometimes when we were viewing lions the baby cried briefly. That woke up the lions so we could take pictures before the lions went back to sleep. Thanks to Maningo we did see the big 5, including 3 leopards the last day.
“Very pleased. A2T clearly respects Africa (Tanzania) #1, and knows how to help first time travelers to Africa prepare to travel, respect local customs and enjoy a lifetime experience. I respect that your drivers are all A2T employees not contract guides. We asked them about working for A2T and they were enthusiastic about achieving a very good job with a good company. They were responsive to our group, personable in every way, and let us know through occasional humor that they enjoyed us and their work.
They really became the heart of the safari experience with their incredible skills and knowledge and ability to know where they were in what seemed to me like the middle of nowhere. I am one of those travelers that likes to know where I am on the planet, and I was totally in awe of driving around Nngorongor and the Serengeti without a sense of direction. I loved it.”
