The Remote Wilderness of Western Tanzania

Tailor Made Sample Itinerary No.3

Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale Safari

An extraordinary and unusual Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale safari in Tanzania’s remote west, a land of vast open plains, chimpanzee forests and very few tourists.  If prepared to invest a little extra time and energy to escape the main safari routes, one is richly rewarded with large amounts of plains wildlife and the thrill of close encounters with chimpanzees.  Time spent relaxing on Zanzibar rounds off an adventurous and exclusive wildlife experience.
