Tanzania's Southern Safari: 7 Days in Mikumi, Ruaha & Udzungwa
Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Tanzania’s spectacular Southern Circuit, where thrilling wildlife encounters meet rich cultural and natural wonders. Starting in Dar es Salaam, you’ll set off by road to Mikumi National Park, famed for its vast savannahs and vibrant wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and zebras. Here, comfortable superior chalets at Camp Bastian offer a relaxing base between exhilarating game drives across the open plains and lush riverine forests.
Your adventure deepens as you travel onward to Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s largest and least-explored gem. Nestled in the hills at Ruaha Hilltop Lodge, you’ll immerse yourself in the park’s diverse habitats through game drives and an extraordinary walking safari—getting up close to wildlife tracks and discovering the ecosystem from a new perspective.
Along the way, uncover Tanzania’s ancient past at the Isimila Stone Age site, a remarkable archaeological treasure. The journey also takes you to the verdant Udzungwa Mountains, where a hike through rainforest trails leads to the breathtaking Sanje Waterfalls, providing a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.
Returning to Dar es Salaam, you’ll carry with you lasting memories of Tanzania’s wild beauty, cultural richness, and the unique experiences that make this Southern Circuit an authentic and inspiring African safari.
