7 Days Women Only Midrange Safari Tour in Southern Tanzania

Your Southern Tanzania adventure starts at around 6:00 AM with collection from your accommodation in Dar es Salaam. Once luggage has been organised and everyone is comfortably seated, begin the road journey toward Nyerere with planned comfort stops along the way. Arrive during the early afternoon for lunch before preparing for your first safari experience at approximately 3:00 PM. During the afternoon game drive your guide will introduce the landscapes and wildlife of Nyerere while searching for giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, hippos and other animals. There will be plenty of opportunities for photographs and questions, and the pace can be adjusted whenever the group wants more time at an interesting sighting. Finish around 6:00 PM and continue to your midrange accommodation for dinner.

Breakfast is served early before setting out at approximately 7:00 AM for a full day in the park. With picnic lunches packed, spend the morning exploring different wildlife zones, allowing your guide to follow signs of recent animal activity rather than staying on one predictable circuit. Nyerere's mixture of woodland, plains and water habitats can produce fascinating combinations of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, antelopes and abundant birdlife. Around midday, stop at a designated picnic area for lunch and a break before continuing the adventure. The afternoon drive can be slower, giving everyone time for photographs and relaxed observation. Return to your accommodation between 5:00 and 6:00 PM, depending on the day's sightings.

Today provides a second full day to appreciate just how large and varied Nyerere really is. After breakfast at approximately 6:30 AM, begin exploring another section of the park and keep watch for animals that may not have appeared during the previous day. The guide will explain wildlife behaviour, tracks, habitats and conservation while allowing the experience to remain relaxed and enjoyable rather than becoming a lecture. A good sighting may keep you stationary for twenty minutes, while quieter sections provide time to enjoy the wilderness itself. Stop for lunch around 12:30 PM and continue through the afternoon until the cooling temperatures encourage more wildlife movement. Return before sunset for dinner and another comfortable night.

Leave Nyerere after breakfast at approximately 7:00 AM and travel toward Mikumi. Along the route, take scheduled rest stops and enjoy views of rural communities, farmland and the changing landscapes of Southern Tanzania. Once you arrive in the Mikumi area, have lunch and prepare to enter the park at approximately 3:00 PM. The broad plains make wildlife easier to observe from a distance, and the afternoon may produce giraffes standing against the horizon, zebra and wildebeest herds, elephants crossing open areas and buffaloes grazing together. Continue exploring until the park begins settling into evening, then drive to your selected midrange accommodation for dinner and rest.

After breakfast, depart at approximately 7:00 AM for a complete day inside Mikumi National Park. Your driver guide will explore the Mkata plains and surrounding habitats, balancing time between popular wildlife areas and quieter sections where unexpected encounters often develop. There is no pressure to rush from one animal to another; if the group enjoys a particular elephant herd, bird sighting or photographic opportunity, there is time to stay longer. Lunch will be enjoyed around midday, followed by a second game viewing session as temperatures gradually begin to cool. The day concludes at approximately 5:30 PM, followed by a return to your midrange lodge for a relaxing evening.

Have breakfast at around 7:00 AM and leave Mikumi for Udzungwa Mountains National Park. The scenery changes quickly as open savannah gives way to agricultural valleys, mountain slopes and dense green forest. After meeting your local guide, receive a briefing and begin the selected walking trail through Udzungwa, stopping to observe monkeys, forest birds, butterflies, unusual plants and viewpoints. Depending on the trail selected, you may continue toward a waterfall area and enjoy time surrounded by one of the most beautiful natural environments of the Southern Circuit. The walking pace will be adjusted to the group, with water and rest breaks taken when required. Finish in the afternoon and transfer to your midrange accommodation for dinner.

Enjoy an early breakfast before beginning a shorter guided walk at approximately 7:00 AM. Morning is an excellent time to appreciate the cooler forest environment, listen to bird calls and search for monkeys moving through the canopy. The activity will finish at around 9:30 AM, giving you time to freshen up and prepare for departure. Leave Udzungwa at approximately 10:30 AM and travel back toward Dar es Salaam with a lunch stop during the journey. Arrival is expected during the late afternoon or evening, completing seven varied days of wildlife, friendship, forest exploration and Southern Tanzania scenery.
