The parks of Southern Tanzania are generally accessed by light aircraft, often in combination with some beach time in Zanzibar.

This type of fly-in lodge-based safari is a relatively relaxed affair, with typically 3 or 4 nights at each lodge. Hopping directly between camps in this way ensures a very pure wilderness experience.

The number one location is Selous, a wonderful languid reserve down on the coastal plateau, with great boat safari, birding and some pretty solid game-viewing.

Ruaha is up on the central plateau and is very different in character and in many ways complementary to Selous.
