Ruaha National Park - Day 1

Spent a late afternoon and early morning in the local National Park - about two hours from Iringa.  It was a bit of an adventure getting there as the truck I was in was a bit roppy - I was quite impressed with the speed with which a Toyata Landcruiser back tyre can be changed by one man however !
