A tight herd of elephants standing together on a pale dry sand riverbed, a small calf sheltered between the adults. 8 Days
  • Duration 8 Days

The operator’s only southern-circuit trip: eight days pairing Nyerere National Park with Ruaha, reached by bush flights and away from the northern parks. The activity mix is different from their Serengeti trips, leaning on Rufiji River boat safaris and guided walking rather than vehicle game drives alone.
