Discover Southern Tanzania on a 7-day road safari through Nyerere, Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks, with unforgettable wildlife and nature experiences
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Discover Southern Tanzania entirely by road on this 7 day midrange safari linking Dar es Salaam with Nyerere National Park, Mikumi National Park and Udzungwa Mountains National Park. This drive in and drive out journey is ideal for travelers who want to see not only the parks but also the changing landscapes, communities and countryside between the destinations. The route includes two full wildlife days in Nyerere, classic safari experiences in Mikumi and guided forest exploration in Udzungwa, with comfortable midrange accommodation used throughout. Travelling by road makes the safari feel like a continuous journey rather than a series of disconnected flights, while still providing substantial time inside each major destination.
Depart Dar es Salaam at approximately 6:00 AM and begin the road journey south toward Nyerere. Watch the landscape change gradually as the city gives way to smaller towns, villages and rural countryside. Arrive in the early afternoon, enjoy lunch and begin a game drive around 3:00 PM. Search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and other wildlife until approximately 6:00 PM, then transfer to your midrange lodge.

Begin another wildlife day at approximately 6:30 to 7:00 AM. The objective is to cover new sections of the park rather than repeat the same circuit. Spend time around water sources, woodland, grassland and other productive habitats while looking for large mammals and predators. Stop for lunch and continue until around 5:00 PM, then return for dinner.

Leave Mikumi at around 7:00 AM and make the relatively short road journey toward Udzungwa. After arrival and registration, begin a guided forest walk with a local guide. Spend the day discovering mountain vegetation, monkeys, birds, butterflies, streams and waterfall areas depending on the selected route.
