For the adventurous traveller, The Untamed Edition Set Departure offers an extraordinary journey into the wild heart of southern Tanzania. Away from the well-travelled safari routes, this carefully curated 11-day adventure, with departures in June and November, reveals a side of Tanzania that feels wonderfully remote, authentic, and untouched.
Imagine witnessing a lion on the hunt, an elephant effortlessly bringing down a tree, or a pod of hippos playing in the shallows—all without another vehicle in sight. This is Tanzania at its most raw and captivating: peaceful, wild, and alive with unforgettable moments.
Travelling with a small group of fellow adventurers, you’ll experience the wilderness from every perspective, from walking safaris and night drives to unforgettable evenings beneath star-filled African skies. At Usangu Expedition Camp, deep in the southern reaches of the Usangu Wetlands, and Kokoko Camp, nestled in the heart of Ruaha, each day brings a new opportunity to connect with the landscape. As night falls, gather around the campfire for delicious meals beneath the stars, accompanied by the distant calls of the wild.
Continue your adventure through the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park, where Roho ya Selous provides an exceptional base from which to explore the region’s remarkable diversity. Glide quietly along its waterways on a boating safari, follow wildlife trails on foot, and discover a mosaic of habitats alive with birds and animals.
This is East Africa at its most authentic—a safari defined by wild landscapes, meaningful encounters, diverse experiences, and unforgettable moments far from the crowds.
