11 Day Southern Tanzania Wilderness Expedition

Starting from $6,365 per person

About this Journey

This 11-day itinerary is the ultimate Luxury overland journey for the dedicated safari enthusiast seeking an exceptionally thorough and immersive exploration of Tanzania's vast and remote Southern Circuit. Featuring premier accommodations such as Rufiji River Camp, Stanley's Kopje, and Ruaha River Lodge, it ensures comfort and deep immersion in some of Africa's most pristine and secluded settings. The expedition is characterized by its deliberate, unhurried pace, allowing for profound connections with three distinct ecosystems: an extended three-night stay in the biodiverse Nyerere National Park maximizes opportunities for rare sightings like the black rhino; a two-night immersion in the classic savannahs of Mikumi National Park provides comprehensive game viewing; and a two-night finale in the rugged, baobab-dotted vastness of Ruaha National Park offers unparalleled predator-prey dynamics and dramatic landscapes. This epic journey, connected by significant scenic drives, is designed for those who value depth over breadth, offering a transformative and unparalleled experience of Southern Tanzania's most untamed and wildlife-rich wildernesses.
