Southern Tanzania Seclusion Safari
Escape to Africa's last wilderness frontier
Tour Overview
For those who truly want to escape the crowds, Southern Tanzania offers Africa's last frontier of wilderness. This 8-day fly-in safari takes you to Ruaha National Park and the Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) - vast, wild, and virtually untouched.
Ruaha is Tanzania's largest national park, yet receives a fraction of the visitors compared to the Serengeti. Here, massive baobab trees dot the landscape, and the Great Ruaha River is a lifeline for incredible concentrations of wildlife. Witness one of Africa's highest lion densities and excellent wild dog populations.
The Nyerere National Park is five times the size of the Serengeti, with exclusive access to only a handful of small luxury camps. Experience unique safari activities including boat safaris on the Rufiji River, where hippos, crocodiles, and elephants share the waterways.
Fly-in access ensures minimal travel time and maximum bush immersion. Stay at intimate camps where you may be the only guests, attended by dedicated staff and expert guides who know every corner of these spectacular reserves.
