Experience a 7-day private midrange safari through Mikumi, Ruaha and Iringa, Tanzania, with thrilling game drives, diverse wildlife, scenic landscapes, comfortable stays and unforgettable adventures.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Explore Southern Tanzania at your own pace on this 7 day private midrange safari connecting Dar es Salaam with Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park and Iringa. The private arrangement gives couples, families and small groups their own safari vehicle and professional driver guide, creating greater flexibility for game viewing, photography and comfort stops. Mikumi provides excellent introductory wildlife viewing across open plains, while Ruaha offers a more remote landscape of baobabs, woodland, river habitats and extensive wildlife territory. Two complete days inside Ruaha create time for meaningful exploration instead of a rushed visit. The safari concludes in Iringa with a guided visit to Isimila before travelling back to Dar es Salaam.
Your driver guide will collect you from Dar es Salaam at approximately 6:00 AM and help arrange luggage before beginning the private journey toward Mikumi. Since the vehicle is exclusively for your party, rest and refreshment stops can be made whenever appropriate. Arrive around midday and enjoy lunch before beginning your first game drive at approximately 3:00 PM. Explore the plains and woodland edges while searching for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and antelopes. Your guide can remain longer at sightings that interest you, giving the afternoon a more relaxed character. At around 6:00 PM, transfer to your midrange accommodation for dinner and overnight.
Time: Approximately 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Attractions: Mikumi National Park, Mkata Plains, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes and zebras
Distance: Approximately 300 km from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi

After breakfast, start your private game drive at around 6:30 AM. Spend the morning following productive wildlife routes across the Mkata plains and surrounding ecosystems, allowing the guide to adjust the programme according to what you have already seen and what you would still like to encounter. Stop for photographs whenever wildlife behaviour becomes interesting, whether elephants are feeding, giraffes are moving through woodland or large herds are crossing open spaces. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch and a relaxed break before continuing through the afternoon. Leave the park at approximately 5:30 PM and return to your lodge.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Mkata Plains, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, predators, woodland and birdlife
Distance: Approximately 60 to 100 km of wildlife exploration
Begin at approximately 6:30 AM with a final morning game drive in Mikumi. The cooler hours can produce fresh sightings and create attractive photography conditions before the day's road transfer. Leave the park at around 10:00 AM and continue privately toward Ruaha through the scenic Iringa region. Lunch, refreshment breaks and short scenic stops can be arranged naturally along the way rather than following a shared vehicle timetable. Arrive near Ruaha later in the afternoon or evening and settle into your midrange lodge.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM
Attractions: Mikumi morning wildlife, Iringa highlands and Southern Tanzania road scenery
Distance: Approximately 320 km from Mikumi to Ruaha area

Enter Ruaha at approximately 6:30 AM and begin exploring its distinctive wilderness with your private guide. Search among baobab woodland, seasonal watercourses and open plains for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes and predators. Since the vehicle belongs only to your party, a sighting can be enjoyed for as long as conditions and park regulations allow. Stop for lunch around midday, then continue deeper into another habitat during the afternoon. The slower and more flexible style makes it easier to focus on wildlife behaviour, landscapes or photography according to your personal interests. Return to the lodge at around 5:30 PM.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Ruaha National Park, baobab country, river habitats, elephants and predators
Distance: Approximately 70 to 120 km of game driving

Today's game drive begins around 6:30 AM and follows a fresh route where possible. Your guide will use experience and recent wildlife activity to decide which areas deserve more attention, creating a different feeling from the previous day. Spend the morning watching wildlife without unnecessary rushing, then stop for a picnic lunch in a suitable location. During the afternoon, continue through woodland and open country, enjoying the freedom to change direction if an interesting sighting is reported or fresh tracks lead toward another productive area. Leave the park during the late afternoon and return to your accommodation.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Ruaha wildlife corridors, riverbeds, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes and birdlife
Distance: Approximately 80 to 130 km of safari exploration

Start the morning at approximately 6:30 AM with one last private game drive in Ruaha. Revisit favourite habitats or search for wildlife that has remained elusive during previous days. At around 10:30 AM, leave the park and begin travelling toward Iringa. Because today's road section is shorter, arrival is expected during the afternoon, leaving enough time to check into your midrange hotel and relax. Enjoy dinner and a comfortable evening before the final Isimila visit.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Attractions: Ruaha morning safari, Iringa highlands and countryside
Distance: Approximately 130 km from Ruaha to Iringa
