These are the common vehicle type an private lodges and camps throughout Tanzania national park.
The African Hunting Dog alias African Painted Dog is a type of wild dog that is listed as an endangered species of mammal and are mostly found in sub-sahara Africa. It is know for its painted irregular fur pattern hence the name "Painted". They are generally small if compared to other famous wild predators, and know to have long/ tall legs and round- bat-ears. They are highly social animals and predators, with a group seen usually ranging to over 20 pax. They usually hunt in groups and they are known to be the most successful hunting predators with a success rate of about 80%. They are agile hunters and usually chase their prey to exhaustion. When making a hunt, they chase the prey in a circular form, where some of the members of the pax would try to out-run their hunt, intending to cut off the front would be exit, while the other members chase from behind and either sides. These African Painted Dogs most times tend to out-smart their prey, endure a chase and work in group and this is what usually makes them successful hunters. . . .

Dar es-Salaam is the largest city and former capital of Tanzania. It is the largest city in East Africa and the seventh-largest in Africa, with a population of 6,701,650. Dar es Salaam is certainly at the top of the list of places to see for most visitors to Tanzania and East-Africa.
About Dar es Salaam
Dar es Salaam (Haven of Peace in Arabic) was founded in 1862 by Sultan Seyyid Majid of Zanzibar on the site of the village of Mzizima. Mzizima's history dates back to when the Barawa people started to settle and cultivate the area around Mbwa Maji, Magogoni, Mjimwema, Gezaulole, and Kibonde Maji Mbagara. Dar es Salaam's origins have been influenced by a myriad of Sultans, the Germans, and the British. The city started as a fishing village in the mid-19th century, is now Tanzania's largest city, and has become one of East Africa’s most important ports and trading centres.
With its great atmosphere, mix of African, Muslim, and South Asian influences, picturesque harbour, beaches, chaotic markets, and historical buildings, it is well worth extending your stay beyond the time between flights. Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's financial and political hub despite having lost its status as the capital to Dodoma in 1973.
History of Dar es Salaam
In the 19th century, Mzizima (Swahili for "healthy town") was a coastal fishing village on the periphery of Indian Ocean trade routes. In 1865 or 1866, Sultan Majid bin Said of Zanzibar began building a new city very close to Mzizima and named it Dar es Salaam. The name is commonly translated as "abode/home of peace", based on the Arabic dar ("house"), and the Arabic es salaam ("of peace").[8] Dar es Salaam fell into decline after Majid's death in 1870, but was revived in 1887 when the German East Africa Company established a station there. The town's growth was facilitated by its role as the administrative and commercial centre of German East Africa and industrial expansion resulting from the construction of the Central Railway Line in the early 1900s.
German East Africa was captured by the British during World War I and became Tanganyika with Dar es Salaam remaining the administrative and commercial centre. Under British indirect rule, separate European (e.g., Oyster Bay) and African (e.g., Kariakoo and Ilala) areas developed at a distance from the city centre. The city's population also included a large number of workers from British India, many of whom came to take advantage of the trade and commercial opportunities presented to them. After World War II, Dar es Salaam experienced a period of rapid growth.
