David was the best! I could go on and on about his attributes. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, including the birds, but made it possible for us to witness them very up close and personal. He made every day a delight and ensured that every need we had was met, and added more fun to the day with his congenial and fun personality. David was always there when we needed him, was on-time and on-schedule. He seemed to know exactly where our excitement lay and optimized everything to give us the best experience possible.

We were fortunate enough to experience three Mara river crossings in three days! It’s clear that David lives and breathes in Tanzanian wildlife and was able to impart within us how the whole eco system works.

We were ecstatic with our experience with David and felt that by the end of our 10-day safari, we could call him a true friend.

“Five star! Eleven out of ten! Simply a flawless, stress free and fabulous experience from beginning to end!! Our beginning was pre-COVID 2019 and we embarked on our safari in 2023 so our relationship lasted for 4 years. During that long uncertain time, not once did we feel like our safari experience was at risk. From the first time I spoke with Casey to plan our trip, it was smooth sailing. Karen was amazing at keeping us on track with the payments and the daunting visa process and I simply can’t put into words how incredible both Maningo was at intuitively giving us the best safari experiences I could have ever imagined!”
