Southern Tanzania Explorer & Zanzibar

Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in East Africa, spanning 20,200 square kilometres of wildlife-rich plains and rivers. A game drive through the park will take you past herds of elephants, Cape buffaloes, kudus, sable and roan antelope, as well as larger predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the rare African wild dog. You'll travel through sprawling savannahs, forested areas, and rocky escarpments with an expert guide to maximise your chances of spotting wildlife. 

You'll explore the pristine landscape more intimately on a guided trek through the bush, providing the opportunity to immerse yourself in the untamed wilderness of the region, encountering smaller fauna such as reptiles, shrews, bats and over 500 bird species along the way. 

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its diversity of wildlife and unspoilt natural landscape, the Selous Game Reserve is one of few wildlife destinations where travellers can experience both land and river safaris. During your stay in the region, you'll embark on various excursions showcasing a myriad of incredible species. Beginning with an expert-led game drive, you'll spot some of the continent's most iconic creatures, including lions, elephants, giraffes, hartebeests and buffaloes.  

On a walking safari, you can track wildlife on foot through the rugged bush, undisturbed forests, glistening floodplains, and lakes teeming with water-dwelling creatures like crocodiles. You'll be able to venture out at various times of the day, including early morning, afternoon, and evening, when the plains are illuminated by the golden hue of the sunset. 

View the reserve from a different perspective on an enthralling river safari. A hotspot for wildlife, on this tour you'll witness bloats of hippos frolicking in the river, elephants cooling off by the river banks, Nile crocodiles peering above the surface and various bird species circling the skies above you. 

Explore the archipelago's crystalline waters on a range of exciting adventures, from drifting on a kayak in the company of the Indian Ocean breeze to a competitive paddle boarding ride. Zanzibar's clear seas are ideal for a relaxing ocean excursion. Dive into the warm waters and discover the thriving world beneath the surface with untouched coral reefs teeming with exotic marine life such as barracuda, red snapper, Kingfish, green and hawksbill turtles, and dolphins.

If time allows, visit the Jozani Forest Reserve, a rich landscape of tropical mangrove forests, salt marshes, and a diverse range of flora species. It is here that you will be able to learn about Zanzibar's unique ecosystems and endemic wildlife species, such as the red colobus monkey, Jozani frog, and various bird species.
