Join a 5-day midrange Tanzania Southern Circuit safari with shared transportation, scheduled departures and comfortable stays in Nyerere and Mikumi.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
This 5-day midrange group joining Tanzania Southern Circuit safari gives solo travellers, couples and friends an opportunity to share the safari vehicle and guiding costs while staying in comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps. Your departure will operate on a scheduled date after the minimum required number of participants has been confirmed. Unlike a private safari, daily departure times, rest stops and wildlife decisions will consider the interests of everyone in the vehicle; however, our guide will work to provide fair viewing and photography opportunities. You will enjoy several game drives in Nyerere, an overland transfer to Mikumi and a full day across the Mkata Floodplain. The package is ideal if you want midrange accommodation but find the cost of hiring an entire Southern Circuit vehicle alone too high
5:30 AM–7:00 AM: Participant Collection and Safari Briefing
Your safari will start with collection from a designated Dar es Salaam meeting point or an agreed hotel within the operating area. Since other travellers will be waiting, you will need to arrive on time and keep your luggage within the communicated limit. Our guide will introduce the group, explain seating and outline how shared decisions will be managed during the journey.
7:00 AM–1:00 PM: Shared Drive to Nyerere
You will travel toward Nyerere with your fellow safari guests. Stops for refreshments and washroom use will be selected to suit the group as a whole. During the drive, you will have time to meet the other travellers and learn about the landscapes of southern Tanzania.
3:00 PM–6:00 PM: First Group Game Drive
After lunch and check-in at your midrange accommodation, your group will enter Nyerere for an afternoon game drive. You may see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and several antelope species. Our guide will position the vehicle carefully and encourage participants to share window access so everyone can enjoy the sightings.

6:30 AM–11:30 AM: Group Wildlife Search
You will leave camp after breakfast with packed lunches. Our guide will search for lions, African wild dogs, elephants and buffaloes while explaining the animals’ behaviour to the entire group. Travellers should communicate their main interests, but no single participant can control the complete route or time spent at every sighting.
11:30 AM–2:00 PM: Shared Picnic Experience
Your group will stop for lunch at an authorized picnic location. You will have an opportunity to exchange photographs, discuss the morning and get to know your fellow travellers better.
2:00 PM–6:00 PM: Lakes, Hippos and Afternoon Game Drive
The safari will continue toward water habitats where you may see hippos, crocodiles and aquatic birds. Our guide will also continue looking for predators and large mammals during the drive back toward the accommodation.

6:00 AM–9:30 AM: Final Group Safari in Nyerere
You will complete one more Nyerere game drive before leaving the region. The guide will use recent wildlife information and the group’s previous sightings to select the route. All participants will need to return to the vehicle promptly after breaks because of the long journey ahead.
9:30 AM–7:00 PM: Shared Road Transfer to Mikumi
You will travel together toward Mikumi with lunch and practical stops provided. Arrival time can vary with road conditions. After checking in at your midrange lodge, you will enjoy dinner and prepare for the following day.

6:30 AM–11:30 AM: Shared Mkata Floodplain Drive
Your group will explore Mikumi’s open plains, where you may encounter elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest. Lions may be observed near prey animals or resting in shaded areas. Our guide will try to provide balanced viewing opportunities from both sides of the vehicle.
11:30 AM–2:00 PM: Group Picnic Lunch
You will stop at a designated location for lunch and a short rest. This is also an opportunity for passengers to exchange seats if the group agrees.
2:00 PM–6:00 PM: Final Group Wildlife Experience
You will continue around water points, woodland edges and additional areas of the floodplain. The final drive will focus on new sightings while allowing time for photographs and questions. Dinner and overnight will be provided at the midrange lodge
7:00 AM–9:00 AM: Group Breakfast and Check-Out
After breakfast, you will check your room, load your luggage and prepare to leave at the agreed time. Delays should be avoided because they affect every participant.
9:00 AM–4:00 PM: Shared Return and Drop-Off
Your group will travel back to Dar es Salaam. Drop-off will normally be provided at agreed central locations or hotels along the operating route. Private transfers outside this area may be arranged separately.
