7 Days Southern Tanzania by Air on a Luxury Solo Traveller Safari

Discover Nyerere and Ruaha by air on a luxury safari for solo guests.

Explore Southern Tanzania independently while enjoying the support of organised transfers, experienced safari guides and carefully selected luxury camps. This seven-day solo traveller itinerary combines three nights in Nyerere with three nights in Ruaha, connected by flights rather than long road journeys. Game drives form the heart of the experience, with a Rufiji River boat excursion and an optional guided walk adding variety in Nyerere. Between activities, enjoy time to read, photograph the camp surroundings or simply appreciate being in the bush. Depending on the booking arrangement, camp activities may be shared with other guests, offering opportunities for conversation while preserving personal downtime. A private room or tent, shared activity arrangements and any single supplement should be confirmed in the quotation.
