7-Day Southern Circuit Explorer

This is the most comprehensive southern Tanzania budget safari available, covering three major parks across seven action-packed days. Begin in Mikumi for classic open-plains wildlife, then venture into the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park for boat safaris on the Rufiji River. Finish in Ruaha — Tanzania's largest national park and a stronghold for wild dogs, lions, and rare antelope species. The southern circuit is wilder, emptier, and more remote than the northern parks, offering genuine off-the-beaten-path adventure. This safari requires some long driving days but rewards with extraordinary wildlife in uncrowded settings.
