Why Southern Escape Safari?
Southern Escape Safari – Tanzania’s Untouched Wilderness
Southern Tanzania is the hidden treasure of African safaris — a land of vast, remote landscapes, incredible wildlife diversity, and tranquil wilderness far from the crowds. Choosing this circuit means embracing a more exclusive safari experience that combines raw adventure with serene beauty.
World-Class Wildlife Experiences
Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve): One of Africa’s largest protected areas, where river safaris, walking safaris, and classic game drives reveal elephants, lions, wild dogs, and hippos along the mighty Rufiji River.
Ruaha National Park: Tanzania’s largest national park, famous for its rugged beauty, huge elephant herds, and predators including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
Mikumi National Park: Often called a “mini-Serengeti,” Mikumi offers open plains rich with wildlife and is perfect for shorter, yet rewarding, game drives.
Udzungwa Mountains: A paradise for hikers, with lush rainforests, waterfalls, and unique primates found nowhere else in the world.
Breathtaking Landscapes
From the meandering waterways of the Rufiji River to Ruaha’s rocky outcrops and sweeping savannahs, Southern Tanzania is full of dramatic scenery. Every corner reveals a new contrast — wetlands, forests, mountains, and vast plains.
Authentic and Exclusive Encounters
Southern Tanzania offers a more intimate safari. Fewer tourists mean you can truly connect with nature, enjoy uncrowded sightings, and experience the wild as it was meant to be.
A Year-Round Safari Gem
While best visited in the dry season (June–October), Southern Tanzania delivers unforgettable moments year-round — whether it’s predator action, migratory birdlife, or breathtaking sunsets over the bush.
Seamless Safari with Ebby Adventure Safaris
With carefully selected lodges, fly-in safaris, and personalized itineraries, Ebby Adventure Safaris ensures your Southern Escape is smooth, comfortable, and unforgettable.
A Southern Tanzania Safari is not just a journey — it’s an immersion into Africa’s last great wilderness, where every moment is pure discovery.
