Discover Southern Tanzania on a wildlife safari

Prepare to be captivated by Southern Tanzania, where Foxes Safari Camps invites you to experience Africa’s raw wilderness as you undertake a fly-in safari journey that stirs the soul.

Awaken to the sound of the African bush – a chorus of birdsong interspersed with the crescendo of a lion roar or the trumpet of a distant elephant. Your secluded banda is located within remote corners of Tanzania’s most renowned national parks – Nyerere (formerly Selous Game Reserve), Ruaha, Katavi and Mikumi. Here you will witness a canvas of miombo woodland interspersed with golden grasslands, and the winding banks of the Ruaha and Rufiji rivers unfold before you.

Days are spent traversing this untamed terrain on foot, by open safari vehicle or boat, alongside our expert guides, for intimate wildlife encounters. Track African Wild Dog through dense bush, watch a leopard dissolve into dappled shade, and marvel as hippo jostle for space in a shrinking waterhole. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the savannah, gather around a crackling campfire to share stories about sightings beneath a canopy of a million stars.

Foxes Safari Camps, with its commitment to responsible tourism, showcases a portfolio of seven properties sprinkled across the western and southern safari circuit all the way to Tanzania’s Swahili Coast.

Foxes Safari Camps allows you to explore Tanzania’s wilderness just as nature intended.

Your safari to Tanzania with Foxes Safari Camps

Curating safari holidays for over 40 years

Our family has lived in Tanzania since the 1950s. It’s our home, where we grew up, cultivated our deep passion for East Africa, and started out as a Tanzanian safari company more than 40 years ago.

Family-owned Tanzanian safari company

Three generations of the Fox family collaborate to create each seamless Foxes Safari Camps experience – from your Safari Air Link flights to the running of our seven tented camps and safari lodges, our conservation efforts, and everything else behind the scenes.

Born from a love of travel and safaris

Everything we do at Foxes Safari Camps is born from our deep-seated love of Tanzania, being on safari, and our passion to protect this African wilderness we call home. We protect it through our Trust to share it with you, so that you can love it as much as we do.

Servicing remote areas of Tanzania

We specialise in safari tours across Southern Tanzania, far away from the crowds of the northern safari circuit. Safari Air Link, our partner airline, flies from Serengeti National Park to the southern and western safari circuit, Zanzibar, Mafia Island, and hard-to-reach areas of the country. 

Rooted in responsible tourism

We are guided by responsible tourism practices and sustainable development in everything we do. Foxes Safari Camps runs on a circular economy principle, uses renewable resources, protects Africa’s landscapes through conservation, while supporting local communities.

7 safari lodges across Southern Tanzania

Our portfolio of seven safari camps are scattered around Southern Tanzania. Each provides a unique experience of the region, while offering intimate safari excursions that escape the crowds and venture deep into Africa’s wilderness.

  • Would visit again in a heartbeat - Ruaha River Lodge

    The camp is placed on the Great Ruaha River and is in an idyllic spot. We saw a variety of birdlife and game all from our banda - a particular highlight being a group of banded mongooses digging for insects right outside, just after we commented that on game drives these creatures always seem to be running in the opposite direction! All the staff at the lodge were very... Read this review

  • Wonderful immersive bush experience and a home from home - Ruaha River Lodge

    Our family (incl 3 adult 'children') had a super stay at Ruaha River Lodge. The staff were professional and created a relaxing environment, so it felt like a 'home from home'. Our guide and driver (Enok and Onesy) were excellent. The bandas are spacious and comfortable, and we loved sitting on the terrace soaking up the passing wildlife and the bush experience. One of our party was not very... Read this review
