Discover Tanzania

Traverse Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere parks with thrilling wildlife-filled landscapes daily

A rich mix of nature’s finest treasures

This is a perfect safari combination to explore three of the southern national parks in Tanzania.

Mikumi national park has a great variety of animals like the ‘Big Five’ and the chance that you will encounter lions climbing up trees is greater here than in other parks! Ruaha national park is not only the second largest park but is probably home to more elephants than any other national park in East Africa. And Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park) is Tanzania’s largest park. Due to its wildlife diversity and undisturbed nature even a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
