The 6 days Ruaha wildlife and Isimila archaeology safari is designed for people who want a relatively deep wilderness stay but also value the archaeological story of Iringa. Unlike a quick heritage add-on, this itinerary gives time to see the earth pillars and discuss evidence from ancient tool-making.
Travel notes
Ruaha occupies the majority of the trip with 3 nights for game drives and flexible sightings. The archaeological segment is placed at the end, when visitors can return to Iringa without racing against a park entrance time.
