Plan a 7-day luxury safari holiday in Southern Tanzania by air, combining Nyerere and Ruaha, scenic wildlife drives, a Rufiji River outing and memorable safari stays.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Spend seven days discovering Southern Tanzania on a luxury safari holiday that combines wildlife exploration with time to enjoy your surroundings. Fly from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere for three nights of game drives, a Rufiji River outing and an optional walking experience, then continue by air to Ruaha for three further nights. The itinerary alternates active safari periods with camp breaks, creating a holiday that feels varied without filling every hour. You can enjoy a longer wildlife day, a slower afternoon or an early return to camp according to the activity arrangements booked. With two contrasting destinations and flights connecting the journey, this package suits travellers who want an immersive safari holiday and comfortable places to unwind.

Check in and take time to relax before heading out around 15:30. Your first drive introduces the scenery and wildlife viewing style of the park. Return before darkness for an easy evening and a chance to settle into the holiday.

06:30–12:00 | Morning Wildlife Exploration
Leave early for a longer outing, giving your guide time to explore beyond the routes used on arrival. Enjoy patient viewing and stop for photographs when suitable opportunities arise. The day is planned around wildlife activity and practical travelling distances.
12:00–20:00 | Afternoon Safari and Camp Return
Pause at a designated stopping location before continuing the drive. Spend the afternoon exploring additional areas, with time to enjoy both sightings and scenery. Return around 17:30–18:00 for a restful evening after your most extensive safari day.
06:30–11:00 | Morning Game Drive
Enjoy an early outing focused on a promising area selected by your guide. Watch familiar animals with fresh attention and appreciate the details that make each encounter different. Return to camp for a longer period of leisure.
11:00–20:00 | Relaxation and Final Afternoon Safari
Spend the middle of the day enjoying camp before a final drive around 15:30. This last afternoon provides time to absorb the atmosphere of Ruaha and enjoy further wildlife viewing. Return for your final evening in the bush.
06:30–11:00 | Final Morning and Departure Preparation
Take a short game drive if the flight schedule permits, or enjoy a leisurely morning at camp. Check out and transfer to the airstrip at the agreed time. Your guide helps bring the holiday to a comfortable close.
Afternoon | Flight to Dar es Salaam
