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.
“A2T brings a level of professionalism to every aspect of the safari trip preparation process. We asked for a number of specifics (bean bags for the cameras, an extra battery to power a CPAP) and all was in order in the safari vehicle when we got there. David was asking why we went with A2T and I mentioned using some of these questions to sort through almost 2 dozen tour operators that I contacted on the way to choosing A2T. Having so much information available from A2T at every step of the process, including how to fill out the visa forms (and a link to the form), how much cash to bring for various things, how to pack, etc. makes what is otherwise a complicated and somewhat atypical trip to prepare for very straightforward. Karen spoke with us about why one would wish to choose one versus a different lodge and we found that each one brought a unique, wonderful experience on our trip.”
