Tanzania Off The Beaten Path 

Tour Information

A 7 day Safari staying in intimate tented camps with excellent guides, in 2 of Tanzania’s most unspoilt wildlife areas.

Ruaha has gained a reputation amongst safari connoisseurs for its unique ecological and geographical character, offering a cross-section of species and a climate that is unique to the country. You arrive in Tanzania’s second largest National Park in time for lunch and a siesta. Jongomero is situated far to the South of the park and it feels like you have all of Africa to yourselves as you roam the parklands, riverine areas and hills of the area.
