Willy is the best
Willy was unbelievable. He could spot the animals like he has a sixth sense but also could predict their behavior, and knew how to drive so we’d get the best view. Knew which birds would always be in pairs. Knew when the rhino would change position so we would get a better look. He was unbelievably patient with me and my bad eyesight and made sure I saw every animal he saw. So patient with my constant questions and asking to stop or stay longer. Such a kind person who helped out other, newer drivers, gave a push to someone stuck in the mud, even made sure people with other guides could see the animals he saw when we were stopped for lunch. Gave our leftover lunch food to people who would appreciate it. Every guide seemed to know Willy and greeted him with a huge smile. He was unfailingly cheerful. He is an excellent driver and I always felt very safe with him.
“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!”
