The south calls differently. Nyerere's floodplains, alive with crocodile and kingfisher. Ruaha's baobab ridges, where lion and leopard share the same dry river. Sundowners poured as the light turns everything gold. And then Zanzibar. Blue water, slow mornings, the smell of cloves on a sea breeze. Two worlds. One journey that does not let you go.
Nyerere National Park, one of Africa's largest and least-visited wilderness reserves, discover wilderness from the water
Ruaha National Park, home to Tanzania's greatest concentration of lion and leopard
Boating safari through the Rufiji River delta, where hippos, crocodile and elephant share the water's edge
Walking safari, discover the great and the small with an opportunity to read the bush at ground level with an expert guide
Game drives at first and last light, when the wild is most alive
Sundowners in camp as the African sky does what it does best
Zanzibar's Stone Town, coral shores, lapping turquoise waters and the lingering scent of spice
