Unforgettable!
Maningo is excellent–very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. For example, I needed to get some medicine for an upset stomach before we left Arusha for Tarangire, and he immediately called a friend with a pharmacy who brought what I needed to the car. It was exactly the same medicine I had been prescribed in the US, and it allowed me to enjoy the safari thoroughly. Maningo is also a very careful driver and made us feel safe even when there was a lot of chaotic traffic on the highway.
“Overall, we had a very good impression of A2T as a company. A2T had been undoubtedly very customer-oriented, which was evident from the very beginning of the tour, that is, booking. The extra mile A2T spent on calls to understand our requirements and then come up with the final itinerary was ver assuring. Later we almost had to backtrack from the trip due to Ebola concerns, and the extra time allowed for us to make the final decision was very helpful.
Later on during the trip, we had a special situation which required overnight usage of electricity. Our guide, Mussa, and Stella from the Arusha office really reached out to resolve that issue by sending a charger from Arusha to Karatu. The solution was impressive (also unexpected), and it became just another good example of A2T’s emphasis on customer services.
Our guide, Mussa, was great. We all liked him very much. I will talk more about him later (assuming there is another column to discuss).”
