The National Parks of southern Tanzania have gradually earned a reputation amongst connoisseurs as the best-kept secret on the African safari circuit, offering remote, untouched swathes of game-filled wilderness with an exclusivity borne of isolated access.

 Selous Game Reserve

The largest in Africa, Selous Game Reserve represents the African wilderness at its most untouched. Navigating the network of lakes and rivers in a boat offer a hippo’s-eye view of the big game safari lands, whilst the privileged perspective afforded from encountering the wildlife on foot relives the experiences of the explorers, settlers and big game hunters of safari’s golden age.

 Ruaha National ParkTanzania’s second largest National Park is still relatively unknown, making it ideal for those seeking the trails less-travelled and the wildlife less-visited. The miombo woodland and characteristic sand rivers of Ruaha supports a unique range of wildlife, borne of the Park’s location at the cusp of the eastern and southern species.Remote location, limited bed space and boundless bush will ensure that even as awareness grows of the abundant wildlife roaming these lands, the safari experience of Tanzania’s southern safari lands will remain of the true and pure variety.
