About Daniel

Daniel trained as an armed walking-safari guide in Ruaha, one of the few parks in Tanzania where that's still how you see wildlife — on foot, at a distance, reading tracks instead of driving up to a sighting. He splits his season between Ruaha and boat safaris on the Rufiji in Nyerere National Park, and finishes multi-day trips with a stop at a Southern Highlands coffee farm near Iringa.

Completely different pace from our Serengeti drive earlier in the trip. Daniel made us feel safe the whole way.

Saw more hippos than I thought existed. Slightly rustier boat than expected but Daniel knew every channel.
