Southern Tanzania Safaris

Travel through the spacious wilderness of Nyerere, Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa and Katavi, where wildlife experiences feel wonderfully unhurried.

Discover Southern Tanzania Safaris

Space, rivers and the quieter wild

Choose road or fly-in journeys with game drives, river scenery, walking opportunities and fewer vehicles in some of Tanzania’s wildest parks.

Southern Tanzania invites a different kind of safari: the waterways of Nyerere, the savannah and river systems of Ruaha and the distinctive wildlife habitats around Mikumi. It is ideal for travellers who value a sense of discovery and want a route away from the busiest northern circuits.

Compare road journeys with fly-in connections, plan enough time to experience each park properly and explore options for boat activities where they are offered.

This region rewards a considered route: road travel can be scenic but lengthy, while scheduled flights may help link distant parks. We will discuss the trade-offs and make sure each stop has enough time to be experienced.
