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.
“I really appreciated how straightforward and simple the process was—from putting together the itinerary, all the way through the lead-up to the trip. The initial planning call, along with the payment plan, then the pre-trip call to make sure everyone was on the same page (including the helpful YouTube videos)—it all felt seamless. And the best part was truly the expertise and professionalism of Wilfred. He did a wonderful job not only showcasing his knowledge of wildlife and Tanzanian culture, but also really took the time to get a sense of what we wanted out of the trip—even when, at times, we admittedly weren’t the most vocal, simply because we didn’t always know the breadth of possibilities.”
