Our driver guide will meet you at your hotel in Dar Es Salaam, he will start with a short brief regarding your safari, and then you will leave for Mikumi National Park which lies at a six-hour drive from Dar Es Salaam, and it is Tanzania’s fourth largest national park. The open horizons and abundant wildlife draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti plains, but its location close to Tanzania’s largest city makes Mikumi easier accessible. The park has a great variety of animals: elephants, buffalos, zebras and giraffes are relatively easy to spot, as well as lions mating and many hippos in the resident hippo pool!

Ruaha National Park is the third largest national park in Tanzania. It lies along the Great Ruaha River, is known for its large elephant population, and is a true paradise for birdwatchers with over 570 species. Besides, you might catch a glimpse of lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, elands, sable antelopes, jackals, or the rare African wild dog. Game drives are special, as you drive through an untouched ecosystem in this relatively quiet but stunning park!
Dinner and overnight at Ruaha River Lodge
Today you discover the jungle, savannah and river sides of the vast Nyerere National Park (previously the Selous Game Reserve) – an amazing place for game drives. This park in southern Tanzania has fewer visitors than the northern parks but boasts elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, giraffes, the endangered rhino, the rare African wild dog and more. It’s the second largest park in the country after Serengeti National Park, so be prepared to cover some miles!

A boat safari on the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park is both relaxing and adventurous! The boat takes you over the river and to nearby lakes, allowing you to spot many animals that come to the water’s edge. Very common are giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, kudus and warthogs, elephants. Crocodiles are always there, it’s their home. The trip includes a picnic lunch on the shores of one of the lakes. Later in the afternoon drive back to Dar Es Salaam. Drop-off at your hotel, or drive direct to the Airport for your onward flight.
