Varied wildlife and unusual scenery in southern Tanzania's remote national parks

Rhino

This traditional camping safari explores the best of southern Tanzania, a vastly different experience to a safari in the north of the country. This trip is all about game viewing, and our safari starts with the truly wild scenery of Selous, Africa's largest wildlife reserve. We do not have the massive migration here but the wildlife will not disappoint: large populations of hippo and crocodiles, and small numbers of the endangered black rhino. The wide Rufiji River bisects the reserve, and our safari is not just by 4WD, it is also by boat and on foot. We travel overland to Mikumi National Park, where we stop for a couple of days of game viewing before continuing to Ruaha. Tanzania's second largest park, Ruaha straddles 'southern' and 'eastern' Africa, so the animal and bird life here are second to none.

Smokeless Stoves in Tanzania

We are proud to be in partnership with Plan UK to help fund a project to make smokeless stoves accessible to people in the Geita District of Tanzania. Smokeless stoves not only use less firewood than open fires but also greatly benefit the health of the local people, particularly the women and children. Exodus is donating GBP21,697 to install 140 smokeless stoves in seven villages and train 70 members of the community to ensure sustainability. With client donations we hope to be able to scale up the project and help even more villages in the future.
