Overview

The Southern Tanzania Luxury Safari – Nyerere & Ruaha is a 7-day safari through Nyerere National Park (Selous) & Ruaha National Park, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. This route takes in Serengeti, Zanzibar, with each day sequenced to put you in the right place at the right time for wildlife.

Bush and beach is one of East Africa's most satisfying combinations, and this 7-day itinerary gets the balance right: proper wildlife days in prime game country, then a coastal or island stay to wind down. Transfers, accommodation, and logistics are all managed by the Saringi team in Nairobi. Dates, lodge category, and duration can be adjusted to suit your schedule.

Trip Highlights

Rufiji River boat safaris: hippo pods, Nile crocodile, and prolific birdlife
