Tanzania is not only the magnificent Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro. Ruaha, in the south of the country, is one of the largest national parks in East Africa, with unparalleled landscapes resting along the banks of the Great Ruaha River. A park for adventure seekers, where you can explore the northern and southern circuits in search of lions, leopards, giraffes, wild dogs—the best hunters in the animal kingdom—and more than 450 species of birds. However, in Ruaha, the king is the elephant—vigorous, intimidating, and fully aware of its power. We’ll see them seeking shade under the baobabs or walking in a line toward the refreshing water.

Later, we will head to Iringa to visit the magical Isimila, and then continue our journey to Uzungwa National Park, where we will embark on a 4-hour trek to reach the famous Sanje Waterfalls, where the bravest can take a dip (during the dry season).
