Fly Into Nyerere and Out of Ruaha on a Southern Circuit Safari

Make the most of your time in Tanzania’s Southern Circuit with this six-day midrange fly-in fly-out safari. Fly into Nyerere National Park and spend three days exploring its woodland, plains, lakes and wildlife areas near water. A flight then connects you to Ruaha National Park, where baobab landscapes and the Great Ruaha River form the backdrop to further game drives. Look for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, antelope, birds and possible predator sightings as your guides adapt each drive to current conditions. Midrange camps or lodges offer a comfortable place to rest between outings. After a final Ruaha game drive, fly out to your onward destination.
