A couple of us are looking to do a safari but are hoping to find some more people to do it with. The safari is with Ecobushman.com a company which was highly recommeneded to us. We are looking to go on 26th or 27th and returning to Dar on 30th or 1st December, but the safari ends in arusha so you can just stop there if needed.
