Use A2T for a perfect trip
Maningo was absolutely wonderful. While we were with Maningo I had could be completely relaxed knowing we were in good hands. The only time I was nervous was after Maningo dropped us off at the Mwanza airport and we had to negotiate on our own (although it all worked out fine). Maningo’s knowledge of the animals and plants was perfect and his interaction with our group made us feel like we had known him forever. He handled our special side trip to Puge without any problems or the slightest complaint I did feel we imposed on his tremendously since the side trip resulted in him having a long trip home to Arusha. Never a complaint on anything from Maningo. He was perfect for us.
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
