Explore the rugged and wild frontier of Southern Tanzania on this wildlife-rich African adventure combining the expansive Selous Reserve, roaring lions of remote Ruaha National Park and the tropical underwater beauty of the Indian Ocean. These southern parks and reserves are some of the least explored and largest conservation areas in Africa.

From remote eco-camps, you’ll be guided by expert safari guides while enjoying daily walks and drives through massive granite outcrops and past enormous Baobabs. From a boat in the Selous, you'll encounter snorting hippos and sunbathing crocs. In both Ruaha and Selous you'll be on the lookout for lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dog who roam these untouched wildlife refuges.

Using light aircraft "bush flights" between camps allows you to maximize your time out in the wild. Trade safari khaki for a swimsuit at the end of your trip for a swim in the tropical blue waters of Pemba Island. This laid-back island getaway stands in contrast to the crowds of its overdeveloped neighbor, Zanzibar, to the south. Spend a night in the most exclusive room in Africa: the Underwater Room where you’ll sleep with 360-degree views of the tropical reef 10 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean.
