Circuit Overview

Tanzania's Best-Kept Secret

The Southern Circuit is Tanzania's greatest undiscovered treasure. While the north draws the crowds, the south remains blissfully remote. Vast game reserves where you may spend an entire morning without seeing another vehicle, where walking safaris put you on the ground among the wildlife and where the great Rufiji River carries you silently past hippos and crocodiles.

Ruaha National Park is one of Africa's largest. A lions' stronghold, home to spectacular elephant herds. Nyerere (Selous), the continent's largest game reserve, offers boat safaris found nowhere else in Tanzania. This is the south that repeat safari-goers speak of in hushed, reverent tones.

Safari Experiences Unlike
Anywhere in Tanzania

The Southern Circuit's greatest strength is variety. No other circuit offers walking safaris, boat safaris and classic game drives in one journey.

Caminhada Safari Ruaha
Walking Safaris Ruaha
Step out of the vehicle and into the wild. Led by an armed ranger and a specialist guide, walking safaris in Ruaha offer an intimate, ground-level encounter with the African bush. Reading tracks, learning plant medicine and experiencing the true scale and silence of the wilderness. Available in Ruaha National Park, this is safari at its most primal.
Safari de barco no rio Rufiji
Boat Safaris Rufiji River
Drift silently down the Rufiji River. One of East Africa's great waterways. In a small open boat. Hippos surface alongside you, crocodiles bask on sandbanks and fish eagles dive overhead. Available exclusively in Nyerere (Selous) National Park, these boat safaris deliver wildlife encounters that no game drive can match.
Classic Game Drive Southern Circuit
Classic Game Drives
Our custom 4x4 safari vehicles with pop-up roofs give you unobstructed 360ã views across Ruaha's vast floodplains and Mikumi's open grasslands. The difference from the north? In the south, you'll often have the landscape entirely to yourself. No other vehicles, no radio chatter, just you, your guide and wild Tanzania.

Guia sazonal

A melhor época para visitar o Southern Circuit

The south is a dry-season destination at heart. Here's how the seasons play out across the circuit.

Jan Mar
Temporada Verde
As chuvas criam paisagens exuberantes e verdejantes. Observar pássaros é excelente. Algumas trilhas podem ficar intransitáveis ​​em áreas remotas. Bom valor.
Apr May
Chuvas Longas
Heaviest rainfall. Not ideal for driving safaris but Nyerere remains partly accessible. Wild dog pups start emerging in May.
Jun Aug
Temporada de pico
Dry season peaks. Rufiji water levels perfect for boat safaris. Wild dog denning season. Best pup sightings. Clear skies.
Sep Nov
Temporada de pico
Ainda excelente, a vegetação é cada vez mais rala, os animais concentram-se em torno dos rios. Safaris a pé no seu melhor. Chuvas curtas de novembro
Perguntas frequentes

Questions

Tudo o que os viajantes aventureiros perguntam sobre o circuito selvagem do sul da Tanzânia.

O sul é cru, remoto e sem aglomeração onde o norte é icônico e acessível. O sul oferece safáris a pé e de barco, indisponíveis no norte, veículos turísticos quase nulos e os melhores avistamentos de cães selvagens da África. Normalmente é para visitantes recorrentes ou aventureiros da vida selvagem que desejam algo fora do comum.

Yes. All walks are led by an experienced guide and an armed wildlife ranger. Walking safaris in Ruaha are totalmente licenciado e regulamentado por segurança. Your guide will brief you fully beforehand. The experience is exhilarating precisely because it's real. But it is conducted with rigorous care for your safety at all times.

Mais alto do que quase qualquer outro lugar na África. Nossos guias mantêm contato com equipes de conservação que rastreiam matilhas conhecidas em Ruaha e Nyerere. June to August (denning season) offers the best odds but wild dogs are sighted year-round. We won't promise them. But we know exactly where and when to look.

Most guests fly into Dar es Salaam and then connect via small charter flight to Ruaha or Nyerere airstrips (45-90 minutes). Road access from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi is also possible (approx. 5 hours). We arrange all internal logistics as part of your package.

Absolutely. And many guests do exactly this over a 14-18 day itinerary. See the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, then fly south for the walking and boat safari experience. We design combined circuits regularly and handle all logistics seamlessly.

Para safáris padrão em Nyerere e Mikumi, children aged 5+ são bem-vindos. Os safaris a pé em Ruaha exigem que os hóspedes estejam 16 years or older devido à natureza ativa e proximidade com animais selvagens perigosos. Os safaris de barco são adequados para crianças com mais de 8 anos, a critério dos pais.
