This is a safari in Tanzania's Ruaha National Park, the largest park in East Africa. If you like remote - you will love Ruaha!
Combine a traditional safari at Jongomero Safari Camp and take part in conservation efforts at Usangu Expedition Camp to experience the best of both worlds.
This region only opened last year to outsiders and is virtually uncharted territory. Staying here not only provides unscripted adventures but involvement in conservation (see activities in the itinerary). Your stay at this camp funds not only animals research and conservation, including anti-poaching efforts - but also brings jobs to neighboring communities. Usangu's Douglas Bell Eco Research Station provides a base for scientists to study and map the biomass and you will play a significant role in the census.
"BECOME A GLOBAL RESEARCH CONTRIBUTOR:
Learn how to use the iNaturalist app to log any species (fauna and flora) worldwide. We use this app to record all findings in Usangu for record-keeping and distribution mapping.You will receive training on how to identify and log sightings of species during your stay. At the Douglas Bell Eco Research Station, our research coordinator will show how that data is used to monitor the distribution and sightings of particular species of interest. As Usangu is still relatively unstudied there are still species to be discovered. "
Continue your magical journey to the Spice Island of Zanzibar - swim in the turquoise Indian Ocean and explore the culture and history of this colorful island.
