A Rare & Distinctive Safari into Tanzania Less Traveled
- A Secluded Adventure Far from Standard Safari Routes
There’s no question that Tanzania draws a lot of safari-goers. The abundant wildlife in Tanzania’s famous national parks and reserves makes it a popular destination. If you’ve already experienced the endless plains of northern Tanzania and are looking for a contrasting but equally stunning experience of East Africa, search no more—you’ll find what you’re looking for on Tanzania's Southern Circuit. Or, if this is your first safari and you seek a truly distinctive adventure, this trip will fill the bill! Few travelers branch away from the well-trodden northern sector to experience the diverse and less-known habitats of Southern Tanzania. - An Itinerary Focused on Peak-Season Wildlife Viewing
We build your itinerary around areas where wildlife viewing is superb at the time of year you are visiting. While many companies operate the same standard itineraries throughout the year, we can tailor your custom trip around prime wildlife-viewing times that determine the best wildlife presence and numbers. - Visit Three Contrasting Parks & Reserves
Our itinerary ventures into the most remote and little-known corners of Tanzania to explore three different parks, each a haven for prolific wildlife. The Selous Game Reserve, four times bigger than the Serengeti, is home to 13,000 elephants, tens of thousands of Cape buffalo, Tanzania's largest black rhino population, and one-third of Africa's wild dogs. Ruaha National Park, Tanzania's largest, is bisected by the Ruaha River, a year-round lifeline that sustains predators likecheetah , leopard and 10 percent of the world's lions, drawn toabundant game including rare antelope like kudu,roan and sable. Katavi National Park harbors Tanzania's densest populations of crocodile and hippo—thousands thrive here, and sometimes 200 noisy hippos will congregate in a single mud hole! - Exclusive Safari Activities Not Available Elsewhere
The vast Selous Game Reserve is known for a diverse array of safari activities centered around the Sand River. Boating trips and guided walks offer safari experiences that visitors are not able to experience in other parts of the country. Likewise, at Kwihala Camp in Ruaha National Park, you're able to walk and go on night drives, too, neither of which is allowed in the more heavily visited parks in northern Tanzania. - Fewer People Mean Better Wildlife Encounters
One of the benefits of traveling to Southern Tanzania is that not only will you be in the intimate company of your own small group, but these regions are so vast, with far fewer visitors overall than the Northern Circuit, that you'll have the opportunity to experience the abundant wildlife in these parks and reserves in exceptional seclusion. - Enjoy More Comfort on a Flying Circuit
One of the benefits of traveling in Southern Tanzania is the remoteness of these rarely explored locales. Given the vast distances within and between these reserves, we fly you to each new location—no long, dusty vehicle transits required! - Our Quality-Value Guarantee Ensures Your Outstanding Safari Experience
