Guest Comment

This was an amazing trip. The organization and pre-trip planning provided by Deeper Africa was exceptional. They worked with us to design a trip that was "ours."  Deeper Africa was terrific to work with and was so committed and interested to making this an amazing trip for us.

Our guide in the north, Ammy Nnko, was an amazing a very special guide. He is very experienced and we spent a wonderful eight days with him exchanging stories of our lives, as well as learning about the country and the animals.

Our time in the south was equally amazing, and was organized differently. We can't say enough about this trip. We travel frequently and this is in the top three trips of our lives!

Trip Overview

Bush plane routes allow you to link together the best game parks of Tanzania's Northern Circuit with the more remote reserves of southern Tanzania. The Northern Circuit brings you the Serengeti migration and the famous Ngorongoro Crater, two of Africa's top game reserves. Traveling by low-flying bush plane into remote camps in southern Tanzania you visit two of the country's largest, most pristine and most remote game reserves. This is the country that Teddy Roosevelt loved, the last of old Africa.

The remote setting of Ruaha National Park allows you to experience the real African bush. Ruaha is an ancient place in the Rift Valley, filled with massive baobabs, some over a thousand years old and red earth, bleached by the sun. Plus, in Ruaha, park permits will allow you to do walking safaris with a park ranger so you can deepen your understanding of animal behavior and habitat.

The Rufiji River in the northern part of Selous Game Reserve is a unique ecosystem containing lagoons, sand banks, and lakes with dense, thick forests and open woodlands. Selous Game Reserve is an area greater than the size of Switzerland and one of the largest areas in the world set aside for wildlife preservation. Access to the southern regions of the reserve are strictly prohibited. Selous' remoteness means there is no mass tourism so our guests are ensured a wilderness experience. Move slowly down the Rufiji River delta in an aluminum motor launch to view grunting hippos, crocodiles, a healthy population of elephants, and plains game needing water.

Focus on One Country

Choosing one country for your adventure can significantly reduce the price of your safari.  Visiting multiple countries and regions adds visa fees and transportation costs.  By having a more localized destination you cut back on the extra travel costs.  The more countries you try to visit, the more money you're likely to pay.
