Budget Safaris - Luxury Adventures

Best of Southern Circuit Safaris

Discovering Southern Circuit Safaris in Tanzania based on budget or luxury Safaris. Why budget ?

It's the most accessible parks and national reserves that can be visited using Dar es Salaam as a starting point. Thay are easily accessed by flying Safari charters, bush 4x4 land rovers and cruisers.

Why luxury? Because they receive a lower number of visitors compared to famous known as the Northern Circuit. Where there is the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater, home to around 30,000 animals, the vast Serengeti national park with its world-renowned Great Wildebeest Migration. Also high on the list are the exceptionally pretty Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks.

Facts:

Competing against Serengeti’s wildebeest migration and Ngorongoro’s throngs of animals, the Southern Circuit may lack some of the kudos on its Northern counterpart, but it lacks none of the beauty and the wildlife, although not always as easy to spot, is even more diverse and rewarding.

A part of budget, If you want to escape the crowds, then head to the country’s less-visited, yet stunning and wildlife-rich Southern Circuit.
