    I had a great encounter with a local guide here. Normally I am leary of the hang arounds and some of the guides but this guy was excellent. Always got me the best price and I paid him his tips from the heart, he never asked for more & I ended up going with him for 6 incredible days Jonas, is his name and you can ask at the front desk for him. it any of the local guides that hang around Backpackers. I spent 6 incredible days with him that were a highlight of the 6 weeks in Tanzania. Hadzabe, Datooga, Massai tribe experiences were incredible. We also went to other areas as well.
