EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Posted on Michel DVerified How to spend 5 h in Iringa Very Nice Walk though the stone formations. Late start in the morning but interesting explanations in the german market in Iringa.Posted on Cheryl SilversonVerified Isamila Stone Age and Ruaha National Park Tour Ernest the Director Wild Gaze Safari is an exceptional man and I cannot speak highly of him enough. He organized an amazing 5 day bespoke trip to Isamila Historical Site followed by 4 days of adventure in Ruaha National Park with my dear husband –Stanley and I. We had him as our driver and it has been the most outstanding of our many travels. I can never forget the close intimate experience with nature and wild game from our camp and the vivid clear African skies. The game drives, treks and everything was just amazing. I fully recommend Ernest and his Wild Gaze Safaris for authentic African Safari trips, do not hesitate to contact them for an unforgettable time.Posted on Heike SiebertVerified Lohnenswerte und wunderschöne Tour!
