Discover southern Tanzania’s vast wilderness area, noted for its striking topography and herds of elephant in some of the largest and least-visited parks. This tranquil combination never fails to impress. Southern Tanzania National Parks are far bigger and more remote that other well known National Parks in Tanzania, avoiding the crowds of wildlife spotters.
