Itinerary

Discover the untouched marvels of Tanzania’s southern circuit with The Best of Tanzania Southern Circuit Safari tour package. Explore celebrated yet less-frequented national parks—Ruaha, Selous, and Mikumi—where wild Africa meets the Indian Ocean. These parks offer some of the most varied scenery and wildlife in the country, yet attract just a fraction of the visitors seen in more famous reserves.

Guided by local wildlife specialists, you’ll track animals through forests, admire vibrant wildflowers, and follow the mighty Ruaha River in search of elusive species. The journey concludes with blissful relaxation on the beaches of Zanzibar, blending adventure and leisure seamlessly.

For explorers who value both rich biodiversity and peaceful solitude, this trip’s unique selling point is its combination of expert-led wildlife tracking and crowd-free environments, capped with a rejuvenating beach escape.

A GREAT TOUR WITH GREAT PEOPLE!

From start to finish this trip was perfect. In Tanzania, our guide was a top notch professional and extremely knowledgeable, taking us off the beaten path to provide us with an unrivaled experience in the parks. Our tour operator's advice for Tanzania were also unimpeachable. Our guide provided us with a social and political perspective no travel brochure could provide. It was a privilege for us to have him share his story with us which was honest, raw, and poignant and changed us in profound ways. We surprised by the level of hospitality from the owner of the tour operator, he organized for us a free BBq dinner at the end of our trip and he bother to drive us to the airport himself he made us felt we paid less for all we got. We recommend you to our friends and travelers.

WORLD CLASS LOCAL OPERATOR

Best Safari experts: Once we got to the hotel, the Safari itinerary provided by the tour company, our safari guide Laiser Maasai was very knowledgeable and did a superb job of keeping us all interested, amused and happy. We saw some incredible wildlife on our trip; the hotels were mostly very comfortable even though at times we were in the middle of the jungle. A thoroughly enjoyable experience for my family and I would highly recommend it. Social responsible: It is good to know that the company has helping also the charity in Moshi, where we visited, a disadvantage children home of more than 50 kids, I also promise to help their NGO AFRICA NEIGHBORHOOD foundation as they are pledge to service the community. I would highly recommend this trip. Each day was fantastic and I intend to return to Tanzania to explore further national parks. Our time in Tanzania was amazing; the tour was very ably and professionally led by Brian. What I particularly liked was that at each location I was free to do as I pleased, take part in some of the more strenuous activities or wander at my own pace. Inevitably I chose the latter. Our first hotel, in Arusha was excellent the company books it for us and I was soo relaxing. Brian's suggestion of picnic lunches in lovely places was particularly inspired as were our evening debriefing sessions from well informed guides and companys manager, with a couple of drinks before dinner. Our visit to their charity projects they are working with now was life changing experience, we loved this company as their responsible to environment and communities, and they bring back what they get to them. All in all I will travelling with this company again and again. GREAT! GREAT LOCAL OWNED SAFARI COMPANY.
