7 Day Southern Tanzania Fly-In Safari - Ruaha and Nyerere National Park – Explore Tanzania’s Untamed Southern Circuit
Experience the raw beauty and extraordinary wildlife diversity of Tanzania’s Southern Safari Circuit on this immersive 7-day luxury tented camp safari. Thoughtfully designed for safari purists and adventurous travellers, this itinerary brings together two of East Africa’s most untouched wilderness areas — Nyerere National Park and Ruaha National Park — offering an exclusive, off-the-beaten-track experience far from the crowds.
Begin your journey in Nyerere National Park, a vast mosaic of lakes, rivers, floodplains, and woodlands, and one of Africa’s largest protected areas. From atmospheric boat safaris on the wide Rufiji River to game drives through wildlife-rich plains, Nyerere delivers thrilling encounters with hippos, crocodiles, elephants, lions, and the highly endangered African wild dog.
Continue to the rugged, remote wilderness of Ruaha National Park, a land of dramatic baobab forests, rocky escarpments, sweeping valleys, and some of the continent’s highest densities of predators. Big prides of lions, elusive leopards, roaming wild dogs, and impressive herds of elephants dominate this vast and largely untouched terrain. Rare antelope species — including sable, roan, and greater kudu — add to the exceptional diversity.
Throughout the safari, stay in intimate luxury tented camps that blend comfort with an authentic bush atmosphere. With personalised service, beautiful natural settings, and close-to-nature living, these camps place you in the heart of Tanzania’s most dramatic landscapes.
Perfect for seasoned safari-goers or curious first-timers seeking something truly unique, this itinerary delivers the magic of secluded wilderness, exceptional game viewing, and a deeper connection with nature.
