About this journey
This comprehensive safari covers Tanzania's three premier southern parks in one seamless journey. From Mikumi's Serengeti-like plains to Nyerere's river-laced wilderness and Ruaha's dramatic baobab landscapes, this is southern Tanzania at its finest. With far fewer visitors than the famous northern circuit, you'll experience raw African wilderness as it was meant to be seen.
