Tanzania’s Southern regions have always been a well-kept secret amongst those looking for a more exclusive or ‘off the beaten path’ safari experience. 

The national parks in the south of the country not only have far fewer visitors than their counterparts in the north, but they also are home to some of the largest wildlife populations in Tanzania and, arguably, some of the most stunning and dramatic scenery found anywhere in Africa. 

This eight-day Pure South journey connects two of Southern Tanzania’s key areas into one seamless trip: Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park, formerly known as the Selous. 

For the intrepid adventurer seeking a diversity of safari activities and habitats to explore, this combination offers a diverse and rewarding safari experience, with walking safaris and boating excursions on Nyerere’s lakes and unrivalled photographic opportunities in Ruaha.
