Embark on a diverse and adventure-filled 5-day safari through three of southern Tanzania’s most captivating destinations, Mikumi National Park, Udzungwa Mountains National Park, and Nyerere (Selous) National Park. This itinerary blends classic savannah game viewing with rainforest trekking and river-based wildlife experiences, offering travelers a rich and varied safari in a short time.
Begin your journey in Mikumi, often compared to a miniature Serengeti for its wide open plains and abundant wildlife. Continue to the lush Udzungwa Mountains, home to rare primates, waterfalls, and one of Tanzania’s most scenic forest hikes. Round off your adventure in the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park, where boat safaris, large wildlife populations, and raw scenery complete an unforgettable southern circuit safari. With a professional guide, comfortable accommodations, and smooth logistics throughout, this trip promises a perfect balance of nature, wildlife, and exploration.
