Embark on a 6-day overland safari through Tanzania’s southern circuit, visiting Selous Game Reserve, Mikumi National Park, and Udzungwa Mountains—perfect for nature lovers and wildlife photographers seeking a more secluded safari experience.
The dry season (June to October) offers the best wildlife viewing. Roads are passable, and animals gather at water sources, making them easier to spot.
Absolutely! This itinerary is ideal for first-time safari-goers or families. You’ll have comfortable lodging, short transfer times, and varied activities like boat rides and easy hikes.
Expect elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, wildebeests, crocodiles, hippos, and over 300 bird species. Ruaha and Selous are also strongholds for wild dogs and rare antelopes.
Only Day 5 involves moderate hiking. All other days are mostly game drives with minimal walking, suitable for most travelers.
