Safari the old way
Booked a three day safari by road from Dar with Zepisa African safaris who i had used in 2017 for the Selous Game Reseve. The trip started at 4 a.m with a pick up by our driver/guide Mkonda. The drive through Morogoro region , past Mikumi and Iringa is on Tarmac road. From Iringa to Ruaha is initially Tarmac and then a bumpy non Tarmac stretch. The journey took 14 hours in total with arrival at the park at 6 p.m. (a couple of stops for refreshment and a traffic police stop also).On our way to our accommodation in the new Bandas we saw Hippos, crocodile and a family of elephants. The new Bandas have 2 single beds with Mosquito nets and an adjoining shower/toilet room. They get very warm and there is no fan to cool down. The game drive the following day was slightly disappointing as we saw one large group of Buffalo and one large family of Elephants. Lots of Impala, baboons, Zebras, Giraffe, an Ostrich family, the odd Kudu and a pair of Hyenas. The following morning on our way out of the park we saw a group of 5 lions. The reputation of this park is on the large groups of lions, Buffalo and Elephants, i guess we were unlucky. The return journey was again 14 hours with a traffic jam in the Mbezi area at 10p.m !! It is no wonder that flying in and out is recommended but the cost then triples to what we paid.
A memorable moment-Ruaha National park
I annot thank you enough for the trip that you planned and the service that you provided the six of us. We all have every intention of returning in the very near future because we realize we have gotten just a taste and we need to go back again.
I really feel incapable of naming my favorite thing because everything was above my expectations. I cannot wait to plan my next trip.
