Discover the untamed beauty of southern Tanzania on this immersive 8-day private safari, combining the waterways and wildlife of Nyerere National Park with the remote wilderness of Ruaha National Park.
Your journey begins in Dar es Salaam, followed by a scenic drive south-west to Nyerere. Spend two full days exploring this vast wilderness, with game drives through woodland, lakes and river channels, followed by a Rufiji River boat safari and guided walking experience for a different perspective of the ecosystem.
From Nyerere, fly directly to Ruaha National Park, maximizing your time in the wilderness while avoiding long road transfers. Over three nights, explore the park’s dramatic landscapes, from the Great Ruaha River and open plains to ancient baobabs and remote predator territories. With multiple full safari days, there is plenty of time for patient wildlife viewing and exploring different areas of the park.
Your final morning brings one last wildlife experience before a flight back to Dar es Salaam for your onward journey.
A deep Southern Tanzania adventure combining river, walking and vehicle-based safaris across two remarkable wilderness destinations—ideal for travellers seeking a more remote and immersive safari experience.
