Overview
Eight days in Tanzania’s untamed south, far from the crowds of the northern circuit. We pair boat safaris on the Rufiji River in Nyerere, Africa’s largest protected wilderness, with guided walks among the ancient baobabs of Ruaha, staying in remote luxury camps where yours is often the only vehicle for miles.
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Dar es Salaam
We welcome you at Julius Nyerere International Airport and settle you into a boutique ocean-front hotel before the bush.
Days 2–4: Nyerere National Park
Boat safaris past yawning hippos and basking crocodiles, game drives through lion country, and an optional night fly-camping under the stars on the banks of the Rufiji.
Days 5–7: Ruaha National Park
Guided walking safaris among thousand-year-old baobabs, kopje-top sundowners and encounters with some of Africa’s largest lion prides: a tenth of all the lions left on earth live in this single park.
Day 8: Departure
A final dawn game drive, then your light aircraft back to Dar es Salaam for the onward flight home.
