Good to know before you go.

TheManlio is a platform that helps travellers discover authentic experiences in Africa by connecting them with local tour operators. We collect their proposals and make them clear and comparable, helping you find the trip that best suits your needs.

No. TheManlio helps travellers identify and compare proposals from local tour operators, but it does not directly sell package holidays or collect the price of the trip. Once you have chosen a preferred proposal, you can agree on the details, terms and payment directly with the tour operator.

Yes. Submitting a request, receiving proposals and comparing quotes through TheManlio is free for travellers.

The quality and reliability of our partners are essential. We assess local operators based on their experience, knowledge of the destination, specialisations and ability to propose trips that match travellers' needs. Before presenting an operator as verified, we define and apply an appropriate, documented checking process.

We do not want to overwhelm you with proposals; we want to help you find the most relevant ones. Based on your destination, dates, budget and request, we aim to present 3 to 5 quotes that best match your needs. Each proposal is organised in a clear, comparable format so you can assess prices, itineraries, accommodation, transport, activities, inclusions and exclusions. The actual number depends on the availability of compatible operators and proposals.

We collect and organise key information: prices, itineraries, accommodation, transport, activities, inclusions and exclusions. This helps you understand the differences more clearly, without having to interpret documents in very different formats.

You pay the selected tour operator directly, according to the payment methods and terms agreed with them. TheManlio does not collect the price of the trip.

Of course. You can share your preferences in the initial request, including desired experiences, budget, dates and any special requirements. Tour operators can suggest itineraries that match your request, which you can discuss with them directly.

Absolutely not. Receiving and comparing quotes does not oblige you to buy anything. The final decision is always yours.

We are starting with Uganda, a destination we know and which inspired us to create TheManlio. We are preparing to expand progressively to other African destinations, while maintaining the same focus on selecting local operators and making proposals transparent.

Yes. We ask you to update us on the outcome of your search, telling us whether you selected a proposal, confirmed and paid for the trip and, afterwards, how your experience went. This helps us improve the service, assess proposal quality and continue working with reliable tour operators.
