6 Days Tanzania Women-Only Midrange Safari in Mikumi and Nyerere

Fly to Mikumi National Park and meet your guide at the airstrip. Begin an afternoon game drive toward your midrange accommodation. Mikumi’s open areas offer a welcoming introduction to wildlife viewing after your flight. Look for giraffes, zebras and antelope across the plains, and watch for elephants along the route. Your guide will stop at interesting sightings and introduce the park’s different habitats. Take time for your first photographs as the afternoon light changes over the landscape. Arrive at your camp or lodge after your first shared safari drive.

Activities: Flight, airstrip pickup and afternoon game drive

Spend a full day exploring Mikumi’s Mkata Floodplain with your guide. The open terrain provides broad views for spotting wildlife and watching how animals move across the plain. Look for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and antelope as you travel through different areas. Your guide will also search for signs of predator activity and stop at promising sightings. Birdlife adds interest between encounters with larger mammals. Pause for photographs and enjoy time to observe rather than moving quickly from one place to another. Return to your midrange accommodation after a full day in Mikumi.

Distance: Varies across the Mkata route
Time: Approximately 7–9 hours in the field, including stops
