Tanzania Southern Safari Circuit: The Southern Safari Circuit covers the largest game reserves in Tanzania such as Ruaha National Park, Selous Game Reserve and Udzungwa Mountains National Park and these have some of the highest concentrations of wildlife.

The national parks and game reserves of the Southern Safari Circuit are, arguably, the hidden treasures of Tanzania’s authentic Africa.

These game reserves are enormous, with some of the highest concentrations of animals anywhere in Africa and a spectacular diversity of wildlife including roan antelope, sable antelope, Cape hunting dogs, and a multitude of colorful bird life. The parks include Mikumi National Park (4-hour drive or a 1-hour flight from Dar es Salaam), Ruaha National Park (Up to a 10-hour drive or a 1½-hour flight from Dar es Salaam), Selous Game Reserve (Between 7-9 hour drive in dry season only or a 1½-hour flight from Dar es Salaam) and Udzungwa Mountains National Park (5-hour drive from Dar es Salaam).

The lodges and camps of the south are small and intimate, with no more than 30 rooms or tents at the very most. This means there are far fewer tourists in the south compared to the north, and allows the area to hold true to the tenets of Eco-tourism. The travel times between parks in the south are long as the parks are far apart.

The parks of the south can be visited independently, or as a circuit combining various parks into one package.

Packages can be arranged using scheduled air services or as road safaris using 4x4 vehicles.
