Depart directly from Dar es Salaam on a 5-day midrange safari featuring comfortable accommodation and wildlife drives in Nyerere and Mikumi.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Leave directly from Tanzania’s largest city on this 5-day midrange Nyerere and Mikumi safari from Dar es Salaam. The package is designed for travellers who need convenient collection from the city and want one operator to coordinate transportation, game drives, accommodation and the return transfer. You will not need to arrange a separate domestic flight or find transport between the two parks. Instead, our guide will collect you from an agreed location and accompany you throughout the Southern Circuit journey. You will explore Nyerere’s woodland, lakes and predator territory before continuing to Mikumi for a full day among elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest. The tour can fit naturally before or after a Zanzibar holiday, international flight or Dar es Salaam business visit.
5:30 AM–12:00 PM: Convenient City Pickup
Your safari will start with pickup from a Dar es Salaam hotel, residence or another agreed location. Airport and ferry-terminal collection may also be arranged when it fits the safari departure schedule. Our guide will assist with your luggage and ensure that you have the necessary briefing before leaving the city.
12:00 PM–2:30 PM: Arrival without Additional Flights
You will reach your midrange accommodation near Nyerere without having to pass through another airport or manage a small-aircraft transfer. After checking in, you will enjoy lunch and have time to rest before the afternoon safari.
3:00 PM–6:00 PM: First Nyerere Wildlife Drive
You will begin exploring Nyerere’s extensive natural environment. You may see elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras and different antelope species. Our guide will also search for lions and African wild dogs in areas where they have recently been active.

Instead of repeating the morning route, you will travel through different woodland or plains. Wildlife movements and road conditions will help our guide determine the most productive areas. You will return for dinner and your second night near Nyerere.
