WHY PHOTO SAFARIS WITH MZUNGU ARE DIFFERENT:


© Dan Sellers
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE - My experience as a guide and leader comes not just from books, but rather from many years of personal explorations worldwide. I am an active member of The Explorers Club, an organization founded in 1904, with President Teddy Roosevelt. Our members have carried the Explorers Club Flag on many of the historical "Famous Firsts" of world exploration such as: Robert Peary at the North Pole (1909), Roald Amundsen at the South Pole (1911), Edmund Hillary at the summit of Mount Everest (1953), Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh at the Marianas Trench, Greatest Ocean Depth (1960), and Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as the first on the surface of the moon (1969). In addition, I am an active member of the Adventurers Club of Chicago, an organization founded in 1912. The Adventurers Club flag has been carried to the summit of Mount Ararat and the Matterhorn, in the Amazon jungles and over the Humac Mountains into Brazil from French Guiana, to Antarctica and the length of the Mackenzie River to the Artic, rivers of the Nile and Congo, river runs of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and El Sumidero Canyon of Mexico, to the "Lost World in Venezuela", the jungles of New Guinea, outback in Australia, on small craft to numerous islands of the Pacific and many other places. In other words, you can feel comfortable and safe with me as your guide because I have been "down the river" many times myself.

DESTINATION MANAGEMENT

Who is Maniago Safaris?
Maniago Safaris just happens to be the very finest Destination Management Company I have ever worked with. Maniago is my partner in all of my safaris in east Africa.

They help me to plan my safaris -- Maniago and I have worked together for years and they have never failed me. Because of their incredible depth of knowledge and experience, their contacts, their skilled personnel, we are able to create the wonderful itineraries that expose you to the beautiful landscapes, the exciting wildlife, and the very personal interactions with the tribal cultures of Africa. You will have rich and rewarding photographic opportunities because of the quality of Maniago's assistance in planning where we go and what we do and how we do it.

Maniago manages our safaris when we are in-country. On safari, I do not make a move without coordinating with Maniago and working through Maniago. Things never go as planed on safari. That is part of the fun, the excitement, the adventure of a safari is that they never go as planned. And I have found that I cannot afford to work with any Destination Management Company who is not the best at what they do. You may not even be aware of the many of the problems that will arise daily on our safaris because Maniago and I will be able to solve those problems in a seamless way.

Maniago's People are the finest available. You will have the comfort of knowing that you will be safe and secure, and that your experience will filled with positive and exciting memories, thanks to the quality of the Maniago people. Safari after safari I continue to be amazed at the depth of knowledge and breadth of experience of the people that I work with at Maniago. All are fluent in English, are very social and helpful, and it is a real pleasure to make new friends that will last a lifetime. One of my pleasures in offering these photo safaris is that I continue to develop life-long friendships that continue to enrich my life and that of my family.

Maniago's travel planning operation extends far beyond east Africa and far beyond just safaris. I suggest you visit their website and explore the wide range of services that they offer. Your experience on our safari will be so positive that you may wish to use Maniago again in the future. Maniago is co-owned by Duncan Muriuki, and Annabella Francescon. Most of your activities with Maniago will be coordinated through David Nguro, Operations Manager. I suggest that you contact David with any and all questions you may have regarding the travel, transportation, and operation of our safaris.
