Romantic Safari Adventure Across Southern Tanzania

Southern Tanzania's treasures remain completely unspoiled and untouched. They offer an unforgettable adventure for couples, affording opportunities to completely escape amidst the most dramatic big game landscapes on the planet. On this sublime 12 night luxury Tanzania trip, you'll explore Africa's largest game reserve, Tanzania's most remote national park, and a concoction of surreal destinations that dazzle with untamed abundance. This is a real African adventure for two. Yet it's also unrestricted you-and-me time. There are no tourists and the romance is elevated by dozens of little touches. Spa treatments overlook hippo-filled plains, luxurious camps stand miles from any other building, candlelit dinners for two are part of the daily itinerary and they always come with a bewitchingly wild soundtrack. And while it's not as famous as other destination, Southern Tanzania doesn't have any less of the wildlife. These unexplored landscapes not only combine an abundance of classic sights with elusive delights, it's more intimate when there are no other people around.

Kick off the adventure in Mikumi National Park, an iconic African landscape that feels a little like an undiscovered Serengeti. Tree-climbing lions, giraffe towers, wildebeest, zebra; Mikumi is alive with sublime first safari impressions, including an incredible abundance of eland, the world's largest antelope. The Udzungwa Mountains frame your safari adventure, a delightful backdrop of lush forested slopes; journey into these hills on day four. Black and white colobus monkeys cover the beautiful eco-camp, private walks reveal hypnotic scenes, and a tailored itinerary can include rock climbing, village tours, or wallowing in remote rainforest wilderness.

It's silent in Ruaha National Park. Then you turn a corner and a huge elephant herd emerges through the baobab trees, or a leopard brings a spine-tingling moment to the safari. This is the largest national park in Tanzania, an untrammeled terrain of safari adventure for two. Starlit dinners, cocktails in the bush, lions on a hunt, remote journeys; this is African safari encapsulated in three days of romance and unforgettable big game. And it's an almost completely exclusive experience. You and your partner are virtually alone in a national park widely regarded as Tanzania's best kept safari secret.

It gets better. A short scheduled flight catapults you into Africa's largest game reserve. Welcome to 50,000 square kilometers of undisturbed wilderness and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that bursts with authenticity. Leopards, cheetahs, lions, buffalo, hippos, elephants; the reserve offers a seemingly unlimited supply of the continent's classic sights. But Selous is also where you discover the rare and elusive, like Black rhino, wild dog, and endemic bird species. Explore on foot, by boat, and take long game drives that heighten the senses to the drama of the wild. As always, safari thrill mingles with classic scenes of romance. Dip in a private pool beneath the stars, enjoy massages with views over the plains, and clink the glasses to four days of exquisite safari adventure.
