Richard was full of information. There was not a single question he couldn’t answer about wildlife or Tanzanian culture. He commented on and gave background about every animal, plant and bird we saw. Everyone loved being in his car. He is also great fun. Vehicles: vehicles were well maintained, clean, and quite comfortable considering the bumpy roads we traveled. All lodges had good service and food, and friendly staff. I can’t remember specifically all lodges. All in all, it was quite an experience. Asante WTA.
