SOUTHERN SAFARIS

Southern Safaris in Tanzania

Southern Safaris in Tanzania take you off the beaten path into some of the country’s most pristine and untouched wilderness areas. Unlike the more visited northern circuit, the southern parks—such as Ruaha National Park, Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), and Mikumi National Park—offer a more intimate and less crowded safari experience. These regions are rich in biodiversity, home to large populations of elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, and a variety of bird species, all thriving in vast, unspoiled landscapes.

The beauty of a southern safari lies in its authenticity and raw nature. Game drives often feel like private adventures, and boat safaris along the Rufiji River in Nyerere provide a unique perspective on wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles, and water birds. Ruaha, known for its dramatic scenery and baobab-studded plains, offers exceptional predator sightings and is ideal for those seeking a true wilderness escape.

Why choose a Southern Safari? It’s perfect for travelers looking to explore Tanzania’s wild side without the crowds. The southern circuit is ideal for repeat visitors or those who want to experience a slower, more immersive safari. With a mix of game drives, walking safaris, and river excursions, it offers diverse activities and the chance to truly connect with nature—making it one of Tanzania’s best-kept safari secrets.
