A starting point for your plans
Your safari at a glance
Start: Dar es Salaam, subject to flight arrangements
Finish: Dar es Salaam, subject to flight arrangements
Overnight outline: 3 nights at one Ruaha base
This is a proposed itinerary, not a fixed departure or a confirmed booking. Accommodation, transport, activity timings, and availability are checked for your dates. Tell us what you would like to change before a final quotation is prepared.
Day 1 of 4
Day 1: Arrive at your Ruaha safari base
Take the pre-arranged flight and airstrip transfer if suitable services are confirmed. Use the remaining day for a briefing and any activity that fits the arrival schedule. Do not assume an afternoon game drive until timings have been checked.
Overnight: Ruaha lodge or tented camp.
Day 2 of 4
Day 2: A full day based in Ruaha
Explore on the game drives arranged with your accommodation and guide. Share your interests in wildlife, birdwatching, or photography so the pace can be tailored. The plan should allow time to observe rather than simply move between sightings.
Overnight: Ruaha lodge or tented camp.
Day 3 of 4
Day 3: More time to explore
Spend another day on planned game drives from the same base. If a guided walk interests you, ask whether one is offered, suitable for the group, and separately priced. This outline does not promise a walking activity or a specific wildlife sighting.
Overnight: Ruaha lodge or tented camp.
Day 4 of 4
Day 4: Return to Dar es Salaam or continue your journey
Transfer to the airstrip for the confirmed flight arrangements. Coordinate any onward connection with realistic buffers. An extra city night, a Nyerere extension, or beach time can be explored as a separate quotation.
Overnight: No overnight included in this outline.
What your quotation needs to confirm
- The named accommodation, room arrangements, and number of nights.
- Guiding, safari vehicle arrangements, transfers, and each planned activity.
- Meals, drinking water, park entry, conservation fees, and any crater arrangements.
- For fly-in options: flight sectors, baggage limits, airstrip transfers, and connection buffers.
- Any optional activities and the terms for payment, changes, and cancellation.
No price or inclusion is guaranteed by this outline. International flights, visas, travel insurance, gratuities, and personal expenses should be budgeted separately unless your written quotation expressly includes an item. Ask about any additional hotel nights before or after the safari.
