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.
