Frequently asked questions
How do I get to the Southern Circuit?
Almost all southern circuit safaris begin with a light aircraft flight from Dar es Salaam or Arusha, since road access is long and impractical for most itineraries.
How does this compare to the Northern Circuit?
The Southern Circuit has far fewer vehicles per sighting and a more remote, exclusive feel, though it has less name recognition and slightly less wildlife density in some areas.
