Extraordinary African Safaris
Combine Ruaha and Nyerere by light aircraft — Tanzania's two great southern parks in one exclusive, crowd-free fly-in circuit.
The southern circuit is built for flying. A southern fly-in safari links Ruaha’s baobab lion country with Nyerere’s Rufiji River by scenic light-aircraft hops, turning two remote parks into one seamless, exclusive journey — and avoiding the long, hard drives that would otherwise eat days.
It’s the definitive wild-south itinerary: big predator action and walking in Ruaha, boating and wild dogs in Nyerere, and barely another vehicle in either. A short flight from Dar or Zanzibar makes it an easy, spectacular alternative or addition to the northern circuit.
A short flight to your first southern park.
Drives and walks in big-cat country.
A scenic flight to Nyerere and the Rufiji.
Boating, walking, and game drives to finish.
The smartest way to do the south — flying saves days and reaches both parks comfortably. It's a premium trip (flights and remote camps aren't cheap), but the exclusivity and variety justify it. Ideal for repeat safari-goers, or first-timers wanting to skip the crowds entirely.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Southern Tanzania Fly-In Safari, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
