Far from the country’s traditional image and the popular parks of the North, the southern plains reveal a more secret, more exclusive Tanzania. Yet two little-known parks here make up one of the largest preserved ecosystems in Africa. The Selous, as large as Switzerland, is a vast wilderness where animals, by their sheer number and variety, truly reign supreme. Isolated and authentic, Ruaha offers an absolutely unforgettable, immersive experience and a true sense of exclusivity. Crocodiles and hippopotamuses can be seen on the banks of the great river. In these sanctuaries, you will feel completely alone, face to face with animal life. Discover all of our travel inspiration for the southern reserves of Tanzania.
