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
