Introduction

  • Personally hosted by an expert naturalist safari guide: Phil Bennett 
  • Small intimate group: 8 guests max
  • Opportunity to see Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, giraffe, a host of antelope species, and a whole lot more!
  • Safari in Safari vehicles, boats, and on foot.

9 nights/10 days discovering nature and reconnecting with the wild in Southern Tanzania, we visit 2 iconic national parks, relatively off the beaten path and little visited, when compared to the crowded Northern Tanzanian circuit -  Nyerere National Park (ex Selous) and Ruaha National Park offer us the opportunity to explore the savannah and view the wildlife unharassed by the crowds of tourists in the parks of Northern Tanzania.
