Tanzania Classic Safaris

After breakfast, we’ll pick you up in Dar- Es-Salaam and drive to Ruaha National Park for an evening game drive. This is a remote area with a dramatic topography of mountains, rivers and plains. Its rugged beauty is only matched by the variety and density of wildlife and exotic bird life. The park is rich in plants and animals like the greater kudu which cannot be found in any other national park and boasts an almost untouched and unexplored ecosystem, making visitors’ safari experience truly unique. You will therefore retire to a designated camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart for a full-day game drive in Ruaha National Park. The park covers 12,950 square kilometers primarily of dry savanna. The forest contains miombo woodlands, acacia woodlands, riverine forests and terminalia scrub. Ruaha National Park has a high diversity of plants and animals including over 450 bird species, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes and some rare and endangered species like wild dogs. Other animals in the park include lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffes, zebras, elands, impala, bat eared foxes and jackals. You will therefore retire to a designated camp for dinner and overnight.

After an early breakfast we will depart for Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Udzungwa is the largest and most biologically diverse of a chain of a dozen large forest-swathed mountains that rise majestically from the flat coastal scrub of eastern Tanzania. Known collectively as the Eastern Arc Mountains, this archipelago of isolated massifs has also been dubbed the ‘African Galapagos’ for its treasure-trove of endemic plants and animals, most well-known of which is the delicate African violet. After a picnic lunch, we’ll proceed to a mountain hike via the campsite’s three trails. There will be plenty of things to see, including beautiful vegetation, forests, waterfalls, birds, primates, butterflies, bushbucks, dickers, baboons and monkeys. You will therefore retire to a designated camp for dinner and overnight.
