This "11 Days-Hidden Safari Treasures of Africa" tour is designed to offer you the authentic African safari and camping experience in Tanzania's many national parks and game reserves.
You will be touring some the best hidden and less visited national parks in this excursion, an experience that is sure to provide you with a sense of African adventure that is unmatched anywhere else on the continent.
The program includes one of the country's untouched and authentic remote wilderness areas, namely Nyerere National Park, formally known as Selous Game Reserve, the largest park in Tanzania. It has the most extensive diversity of safari activities ranging from boat safari along the Great Rufiji River to classic game drive in thriving wildlife areas.
Next up is Mikumi National Park. The park has open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the fashionable centrepiece of Mikumi, which draws frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti plains.
Continue your African adventure by visiting Ruaha National Park, the second-largest park in Tanzania. Here, the experience of game viewing will be spiced up by the exciting landscape and the Great Ruaha River, as well as high concentration of elephants, big cats and the rare African hunting dogs.
Lastly, take a trip to Udzungwa National Park. Its forest makes Udzungwa unique in East Africa, as there is no other place with unbroken series of wood stretching from an altitude of 250 meters up to more than 2000 meters. Hike up the Udzungwa Mountains to see the species endemic to the region, and see the majestic waterfalls and swimming in the fresh water hole at the base of the falls.
