Southern Tanzania Tourism Circuits

Southern Circuit

The sheer vastness of southern TANZANIA makes for some spectacular game viewing and superb African vistas. An additional benefit of a visit to the southern circuit is the remoteness of the location, which means that most visitors rarely see another car during their long game drives. Whereas wildlife and big game are the focus of the northern circuit, a trip to the parks and tourist destinations of southern Tanzania allows visitors to learn in-depth knowledge about complex ecosystems and diverse living creatures that are usually skimmed over in more crowded areas. A visit to the southern circuit is a trip into an unexplored and true wild Africa. The parks in the southern Tanzania include Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa Mountain, and Kitulo Plateau; Selous Game reserve is also a major attraction to the Southern Tanzania.

On the southern Swahili Coast, the little-visited old towns of Kilwa, Mafia, Zanzibar and Mikimazi is a good base for diving explorations and trips to the abandoned ruins of the ancient Swahili trading post. The old German boma in Mkomazi is also a historical site of interest.

Western Circuit

Although off the beaten track, the western circuit offers visitor an incredible glimpse of Tanzania at its best. Chimpanzee trekking in Gombe Stream and Mahale National Park is the wildlife experience of a lifetime, and few who return from their safari fail to marvel at the up-close experience. Katavi National Park is remote bastion of the wild Africa, the rugged terrain certain to bring adventure and breathtaking experiences. The often neglected shores of Lake Victoria are also a pleasant retreat from the safari circuit and offer boating, fishing, and hiking excursions for visitors who are not content to admire the scenery.

Eastern Circuit

The benefit of the eastern circuit is that it offers visitors based in a unique experience of beach meeting the bush - a  chance to see the wildlife and scenery the country has to offer unlike the Northern parks. Parks like Saadani and Mikumi grow in popularity every year, and the Mafia Island Marine Park is fast becoming a hot destination in the Indian Ocean. The national parks, game reserves, and marine parks of the eastern circuit are perfect weekend retreats for guests on business-related trips to Dar es Salaam, Arusha or Zanzibar.
