Independent Mikumi, Udzungwa and Mang’ula Adventure

Explore southern Tanzania independently on this 3-Day Midrange Solo Traveller Safari in Tanzania’s Southern Circuit. Created for travellers who do not want to wait for a companion, the itinerary connects Mikumi’s wildlife-rich plains with Udzungwa’s mountain forest, Sanje Waterfalls and the community surroundings of Mang’ula. Solo guests can reserve a private departure for maximum flexibility or enquire about an available shared tour. The combination of game viewing, hiking, primate watching and village exploration provides greater variety than a conventional wildlife-only safari. Our team will coordinate the road transfers, midrange stays and guided activities, giving you professional support throughout the journey

Day by day Itinerary

Day 1: Dar es Salaam to Mikumi

Dar es Salaam to Mikumi

Independent Journey to Mikumi

Meet your guide in Dar es Salaam and travel through Morogoro towards Mikumi. Travelling independently provides more opportunities to speak directly with the guide and learn about the places, communities and landscapes encountered along the road.

Afternoon Wildlife Discovery

Explore the Mkata Floodplain in search of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest and antelopes. Lions may be encountered around prey-rich areas, although sightings depend on their natural movement.

After the game drive, continue to your midrange accommodation. Solo guests joining a shared departure will follow the group’s confirmed schedule.

Travel to Mang’ula and meet the specialist hiking guide for the Sanje Waterfalls trail. Follow the forest path while learning about plants, insects, birds and the Udzungwa ecosystem.
