Next, we were taken into the hot African sky by a plane and headed south. Unlike in West Kilimanjaro, there was no human population in the Ruaha other than a building for the park rangers, and four small safari camps. We chose to stay at Mdonya Old River Camp because of it was one that avoids luxuries such as soft beds and woolly towels. To my mind, those could become obstacles which for connecting with nature in the raw. Instead, the five of us shared a simple and adequate tent at the edge of a dried-up sand river where there were no fences, distractions or even electricity there. If there was a disappointment about the wildlife viewing in Tanzania, it was being game drives that were not permitted in any area of the country's national parks after dusk. But if anything, that made our night-time meeting with the leopard and impala outside our tent even if more special. V. Read the text below.
