Explore Tanzania’s Southern Circuit on a 3-day midrange solo traveller safari through Mikumi, Udzungwa, Sanje Waterfalls and Mang’ula
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
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
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.
Main experiences: Independent travel, Mkata Floodplain, large mammals and possible predators.
Distance: Approximately 300 kilometres.
Road-transfer time: Approximately 5–7 hours.
Game drive: Approximately 3–4 hours.

Solo Hiking Adventure
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.
Look into the canopy for Iringa red colobus monkeys and Sanje crested mangabeys. Both primates are endemic to Tanzania, but thick vegetation can make them difficult to locate.
The trail rises towards impressive waterfall and valley viewpoints before returning through the forest. Complete the day at a midrange property near Mang’ula.
Main experiences: Mountain forest, endemic primates, Sanje Waterfalls and Kilombero Valley views.
Distance: Approximately 65–90 kilometres.
Transfer time: Approximately 1.5–2.5 hours.
Hiking time: Approximately 4–6 hours.
