You can expect from your driver-guide that he will get you to your destination safely.

And also recommend nice campsites and good value-for-money lodges in Tanzania.
benefits of car rental with driver and their cost
The cost of hiring a driver-guide is €40 / day and all the proceeds go to the driver. This fee also covers his meals and accommodation. You don’t need to arrange accommodation for him, as the lodges have facilities for the driver-guides where they can eat and sleep for a reduced rate. In case you go on a camping trip, we also supply your driver with camping gear. As there are no facilities to eat elsewhere inside the national parks, we ask that you provide food for your driver and cook your meals together. Most drivers are pretty good bush cooks and know how to start a campfire.
When you travel into a national park with a driver, you do have to pay their entrance fee of €2 – €5 / day, depending on the park.
If you’re taking a driver with you into the national parks, the Tanzania National Parks Authority requires you to have your entrance permits paid in advance, so you won’t be able to just decide on the fly. If you book a car with a driver, Roadtrip Tanzania will help with arranging the required park entrance permits for you in advance.
