I had an extra day to spare in Arusha after climbing Kilimanjaro and doing a safari, so I booked a solo one day rental with guide on a whim. I booked the day before, they brought me all the gear to test the night before (I didn’t have any moto gear with me as this wasn’t planned), everything was clean and newer, fit great!
