Description
An 8-day flying safari to Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks offers a unique combination of remote wilderness, abundant wildlife, and luxurious camping experiences. In this itinerary, you will explore the wetlands and river systems of Nyerere, followed by the rugged plains and predator-rich areas of Ruaha.
The journey begins with a scenic light aircraft flight from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, or Zanzibar directly into Nyerere National Park. Upon arrival, you are transferred to Rufiji River Camp, where mobile luxury tents blend seamlessly with the wild surroundings. In the afternoon, enjoy your first game drive, spotting elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species across the floodplains and waterways.
Over the next three days, take twice-daily game drives and guided walking safaris. During these excursions, expert guides lead you to the best locations for wildlife viewing. As a result, you have excellent chances to see lions, leopards, buffalo, and more elusive species. Between safaris, relax at camp and enjoy meals under the stars while listening to the sounds of the wilderness.
On day four, take a short light aircraft flight to Ruaha National Park. Upon arrival, transfer to Ruaha River Camp for four nights of luxury bush camping. Morning and afternoon game drives explore the park’s savannahs, miombo woodlands, and riverine areas. Meanwhile, walking safaris provide a thrilling, up-close perspective of the bush. Expect to see elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rare African wild dogs.
On the final day, fly back to your chosen destination. By the end of the journey, you will carry vivid memories of sunsets, wildlife, and the untouched beauty of Tanzania’s southern circuit. This itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking a remote, wildlife-rich adventure combined with exclusive luxury camping experiences.
