Upon arrival in Iringa, a charming town nestled in the Tanzanian highlands, be greeted by your local guide and transferred to your comfortable hotel. Settle in and enjoy some relaxation before embarking on your adventure.

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, embark on a captivating journey to the Isimila Stone Age site, located approximately 120 kilometers from Iringa. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts well-preserved rock art and artifacts dating back thousands of years. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, explore the caves and shelters, marveling at the ancient paintings depicting animals, hunting scenes, and human figures. Gain insights into the lives of early inhabitants and their connection to their environment. In the afternoon, return to your hotel in Iringa, where you can relax or explore the town's vibrant market and historical sites like the Iringa Boma Museum.

After breakfast, transfer to Iringa Airport for your scheduled flight to Ruaha National Park, Tanzania's hidden gem. Upon arrival, be met by your professional safari guide and transferred to your luxurious lodge nestled within the park's pristine wilderness. Settle into your comfortable accommodations, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. In the afternoon, embark on your first captivating game drive in a customized safari vehicle. Ruaha's diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, grasslands, and the mighty Ruaha River, promise sightings of a spectacular array of wildlife. Spot iconic African species like lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and cheetahs. Keep an eye out for the park's specialties such as greater kudu and wild dogs. As the sun sets, return to your lodge and enjoy a delectable dinner while sharing stories about your day's adventures.

Dedicate this full day to exploring the wonders of Ruaha National Park. Participate in expertly guided morning and afternoon game drives, venturing deeper into the park's untouched landscapes to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

In between game drives, return to your lodge to relax by the pool, relish delicious meals showcasing Tanzanian cuisine, and unwind in the tranquility of your surroundings.
