We arranged our trip to Tanzania with
Authentic Tanzania;
we liked their seasonal camp in Ruaha National Park and custom
private itineraries. Our guide Rashid met us at the Iringa
airport with a safari truck, and organized everything until he
dropped us off at the Dar es Salaam airport for our return
flight. He knew all about the wildlife, birds, and landscapes we
drove though. In the parks, he tirelessy navigated a maze of
unmarked tracks, gathered info from other guides about animals,
and arranged for walking, boating, and hiking guides. Each day
was incredible and unique.
