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.

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

SAFARI 1. SELOUS AND RUAHA PRIVATE CAMPING - 9 DAYS/8 NIGHTS
Justifiably recognised as the two greatest attractions in south Tanzania, this professionally guided safari is based from private tented camps located in the thick of the action.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

SAFARI 2. RUAHA PRIVATE CAMPING, KATAVI TENTED CAMP, MAHALE MOUNTAINS TENTED CAMP
AND LUPITA ISLAND SPA - 17 DAYS/16 NIGHTS

If budget is not your main consideration this is possibly the finest safari experience on offer in Africa. Combining fantastic wildlife and birdlife in Ruaha and Katavi and offering the different experiences of wilderness camping and a tented camp, and the the unique and unforgettable opportunity to track chimpanzees in their natural habitat in Mahale Mountains.
The safari ends at Tanzania's most exclusive and luxurious spa retreat on a private island on Lake Tanganyika.
This safari can be shortened to exclude either Ruaha or Katavi for those with less time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

SAFARI 3. RUAHA PRIVATE CAMPING - 5 DAYS/4 NIGHTS
A professionally guided photographic safari in Ruaha N.P., Tanzania's best kept secret and the destination choice of the true safari connoisseur.
