Southern Tanzania Safari

You’ll arrive in Dar-es-Salaam and be met at the airport, where you’ll be transferred to the Dar es Salaam Serena Hotel. Located at the heart of the city centre, the Dar es Salaam hotel is just moments from sandy Indian Ocean beaches, a bustling fish market, boutiques and restaurants. Spend the rest of the day at your own pace either enjoying the luxury hotel facilities or exploring the delights of Tanzania’s capital city.

Following some breakfast a morning transfer awaits to take you from your hotel to the airport for a scheduled flight to Ruaha National Park. Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania. The name of the park is derived from the Great Ruaha River, which flows along its southeastern margin and is the focus for game-viewing.

A transfer from Jongomero Camp will take you from the airport to Ruaha National Park with an added game view en route to your safari camp.

Upon arrival at Jongomero, you’ll find this camp is gloriously isolated on the banks of a seasonal river in the remote southern sector of the Ruaha National Park. Accommodation at Jongomero Camp comprises eight large and well-appointed tented suites, built on raised wooden platforms, under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private instant veranda which overlooks the riverbed. The quintessence of luxury in the wilds.

Take a moment to refresh and unload over a delicious lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive.

Spend a full day wildlife viewing with our expert safari guides inside this vast and remote park, keeping an eye out for lion, buffalo, zebra, giraffe or impala. This evening, relax at your lodge, sitting back on the deck with a cool drink listening to the night sounds and gazing at the stars.

Shared morning and afternoon game drives in the camp’s vehicle. Enjoy the resort facilities at leisure.

After breakfast at the lodge, enjoy one last morning safari drive in Ruaha before heading to the airport to catch a flight to Selous Game Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upon arrival you will be greeted by a member of staff from Siwandu and transferred to the camp just in time for lunch.

Sheltered in a grove of palms on the shores of Lake Nzerakera, part of the watery byways of the Rufiji River system, Siwandu is perfectly situated to experience fully the breathtaking landscape and abundant wildlife of Selous Game Reserve. You will be staying in a luxury tent made of canvas, mosquito netting and topped with a thatched roof allowing you to gaze out at animals as they saunter past.

In the afternoon enjoy a game drive and enjoy the sunset before dinner and a night of luxury in the wilderness at this premier bush camp.

Rise early and head out for a full day wildlife safari drive in this incredible reserve with an experienced guide. You have the choice of two shared activities including game drives, one boat excursion or one private escorted bush walk. Venturing through the bush on foot, provides an opportunity to see birds, leopard, elephant, and buffalo as well as many other wild animals.

The rivers of Selous are the lifeblood of the park, attracting an abundance of wildlife including elephant, hippo, crocodile, and a plethora of bird life. The afternoon safari boat drifts down the Rufiji river and gives you a unique view of the wildlife on shore, crocodile and hippo that inhabit the river, as well as the park's abundant bird life.

After breakfast, you will have the choice of two shared activities including game drives, one boat excursion or one private escorted bush walk.
