The southern parks are bigger, wilder and almost empty compared with the north. Boat safaris on the Rufiji, walking safaris with an armed ranger, and elephant numbers in Ruaha that nothing on the northern circuit matches.

The southern parks are five hundred kilometres apart on rough road. Flying turns two lost days into two game-viewing days.
Only in a few concessions. Walking is the reason to come south.
Ruaha lion prides are among the largest in Africa. What you lose is the migration, not the predators.
Migration timing, off-season finds, and dispatches from our guides. About one note a month.
