Your Southern Tanzania wildlife journey begins with a scheduled flight from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar, taking you directly into the wilderness and allowing you to maximise your safari time. Our guide will welcome you at the airstrip and begin a full-day game drive through varied habitats where elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes and predators may be encountered. You will explore open plains, woodland and river-related landscapes while our guide follows current wildlife activity and selects productive game-viewing routes. A lunch break will be arranged during the day before you continue into another area for afternoon wildlife observation and photography. The fly-in arrangement makes the trip efficient while still giving you a full first day in the wilderness. As evening approaches, our guide will transfer you to your comfortable midrange lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.
