Tanzania's southern regions have long been a hidden gem for those seeking a more exclusive, off-the-beaten-path safari experience. These parks offer a remarkable contrast to the more frequented northern circuits, not only with fewer visitors but also some of the largest wildlife populations and dramatic landscapes found anywhere in Africa.
Our eleven-day Pure South safari immerses you in the beauty of two key areas in Southern Tanzania: Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous). For adventurous travelers looking to explore diverse habitats and safari activities, this seamless journey offers a perfect balance. You can enjoy walking safaris and boat excursions in Nyerere, while Ruaha promises unrivaled photographic opportunities with its stunning scenery and abundant wildlife.
This itinerary is ideal for those seeking an unforgettable and varied safari experience in some of Tanzania's most pristine wilderness areas.
