Private Seven-Day Expedition Across Mikumi, Udzungwa, Ruaha and Iringa

Enjoy Tanzania on your own terms with a seven-day private safari created around flexibility, privacy and personalized exploration. From the moment you leave Dar es Salaam, your journey is operated with a private safari vehicle and dedicated guide, giving you greater control over departure times, wildlife stops, photography opportunities and the pace of each day. Travel through Mikumi's wildlife-rich plains, explore the rainforest and Sanje Waterfalls of Udzungwa, and discover the vast wilderness of Ruaha before passing through Iringa on the return journey. Rather than following a fixed group schedule, the experience can be shaped around your interests, whether that means spending longer with an elephant herd, photographing a spectacular landscape, taking a leisurely lunch or enjoying a quiet evening at your lodge. This is Southern Tanzania with privacy and freedom built into every stage.
