SOUTH AND WEST TANZANIA SAFARI ITINERARIES

Tanzania has an overwhelming variety of safari options and making a choice on where to go with the time available is not easy.

Below are some suggested itineraries which can be used in combination with other safaris or as a complete safari in itself. The set departure itineraries (2 and 5) are designed for those wanting to share the costs of a south Tanzania driving itinerary with like minded travellers and depart from Dar es Salaam.

These suggestions are what we consider to be the very best combinations available in the areas where we specialise - the beautiful wilderness regions of south and west Tanzania.

Please ask for recommended beach and diving extensions to Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia and the Tanzanian mainland
