Remote Safaris

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Do you want to be fully immersed in nature and take on the road less travelled? A remote safari in Tanzania will take you to under-the-radar spots for secluded experiences in the wilderness.

Why Should You Go on a Remote Safari in Tanzania?

Secluded Safari Experience

If you want to enjoy a more private and personalised safari experience, opt for a remote safari in Tanzania. This will allow you to escape the crowds and explore vast, untouched wilderness areas that are rarely visited.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Lodges

While on a remote safari, you’re able to stay in luxury accommodations devoid of mass crowds and enjoy exclusive wildlife viewing. Imagine a front-row seat while wildlife gathers along a waterhole.

Serenity and Solitude

Due to the remoteness of these safaris, this experience is perfect for travellers seeking complete peace in the bush.

Explore Lesser-Known Routes

A remote Tanzania safari takes you to some of the least-visited parks in Tanzania, where you can encounter unique ecosystems and rare wildlife away from the more popular routes.

Immersion in Nature

Do you want to completely disconnect from daily life and technology so that you can fully immerse yourself in nature? A remote safari is ideal for you, as it’s the perfect opportunity for a digital detox and reconnection with nature.

Best Destinations for a Remote Safari in Tanzania

Ruaha National Park

For an unhurried, uncrowded safari, Ruaha National Park is a must-visit! Not only is it remote, but it’s also an excellent destination for a big cat safari. Here you’ll be able to spot lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Katavi National Park

This less-visited park is home to the largest herds of buffalo in the world. While on a remote safari in Katavi, you’re able to explore an array of habitats, from grasslands and forests to flood plains.

Nyerere National Park

Tanzania’s largest national park, Nyerere, gives travellers the space to avoid crowds and head to remote areas. If you’re a birder, this destination can’t be missed – with over 440 species, it’s considered an excellent place for birdwatching.

5 Tips for a Remote Safari in Tanzania

1. Pack Extra Supplies

As remote accommodations have limited access to amenities and you’ll be in the middle of nowhere, it’s best to be overly prepared. Pack extra of your necessities so that you’re not caught unawares.

2. Opt for Fly-in Safaris

A fly-in safari uses light aircraft to take you to different destinations within national parks. This allows for easier access to remote locations and cuts down on your overall travel time.

3. Be Prepared for Long Travel Times

As the locations are remote during this safari experience, it can take a while to reach them. Expect long drives in between places. The setting more than makes up for this, as you’ll be able to spot wildlife along the way.

4. Bring Powerbanks

At remote safari lodges, your access to electricity will be limited. So, bring extra camera batteries and power banks to charge your devices.

5. Expect Basic to Luxury Amenities

Some accommodations are considered to be on the more luxurious side with hot showers and electricity, while others are basic with just the absolute necessities.
