Join a 7-day women-only safari through Mikumi, Ruaha and Iringa, featuring exciting wildlife drives, beautiful landscapes, comfortable midrange stays, and unforgettable adventures in southern Tanzania.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
This 7 day women only midrange safari through Mikumi, Ruaha and Iringa is created for women who want to experience Southern Tanzania through wildlife, scenic road travel and shared adventure. Starting from Dar es Salaam, the journey introduces the open landscapes of Mikumi before continuing to Ruaha, where two full days provide enough time to appreciate its expansive wilderness, baobabs and diverse wildlife. The itinerary is paced so that guests can enjoy photographs, conversation, rest stops and interesting sightings without feeling rushed. Comfortable midrange accommodation is used throughout, while the final journey through Iringa and Isimila adds history and landscape to the safari. Whether travelling with friends, sisters or a women focused travel group, the experience combines wildlife exploration and companionship across one of Tanzania's less crowded safari regions.
Meet your driver guide in Dar es Salaam at approximately 6:00 AM and begin the road journey toward Mikumi. The drive includes suitable comfort stops and opportunities to enjoy the changing landscapes as the group leaves the city behind. Arrive around midday and enjoy lunch before entering Mikumi at approximately 3:00 PM. The afternoon game drive provides the first opportunity to search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and antelopes while becoming familiar with the broad Mkata plains. Your guide will keep the pace relaxed and allow enough time for photography, questions and enjoyable wildlife observation. Finish the drive close to 6:00 PM and continue to your midrange lodge for dinner and an easy evening.
Time: Approximately 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Attractions: Mikumi National Park, Mkata Plains, elephants, giraffes, zebras and plains wildlife
Distance: Approximately 300 km from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi

After breakfast, enter the park around 7:00 AM with a picnic lunch packed for the day. The morning is dedicated to exploring different wildlife environments rather than remaining in one section, giving the group the chance to see grassland animals, woodland species and birds around water areas. Your guide will stop whenever an interesting scene develops, whether it is an elephant family moving together, giraffes feeding quietly or predators resting after an active night. Around 12:30 PM, enjoy a picnic lunch and time to relax before returning to the safari tracks. Continue exploring until approximately 5:00 to 5:30 PM, then travel back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Time: Approximately 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Mkata Plains, woodland habitats, water areas, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes and birds
Distance: Approximately 60 to 100 km of wildlife viewing
Start the day early with breakfast, then enter Mikumi around 6:30 AM for a final half day game drive. Morning wildlife activity can be very different from the previous afternoon, making these few hours worthwhile before the longer transfer begins. Search for additional animal encounters, stop for group photographs and enjoy the fresh morning atmosphere before leaving at approximately 10:00 AM. Continue toward Ruaha through Southern Tanzania's changing countryside, breaking for lunch and refreshments en route. Arrival near Ruaha is expected later in the day, where the group will settle into comfortable midrange accommodation and enjoy dinner.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM
Attractions: Mikumi morning safari, Iringa highland scenery and Ruaha region
Distance: Approximately 320 km from Mikumi to Ruaha area

Following breakfast, enter Ruaha at approximately 6:30 AM for a complete day of wilderness exploration. Ruaha offers a very different feeling from Mikumi, with more rugged scenery, giant baobabs and extensive landscapes that can make wildlife encounters feel particularly rewarding. Search for elephant herds, buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes and predators while also stopping for beautiful viewpoints and photographic scenes. Lunch is enjoyed in a designated picnic location around midday, followed by another safari session during the afternoon. The group returns to the lodge at approximately 5:30 PM, leaving plenty of time for showers, conversation and dinner.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Ruaha National Park, baobabs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, predators and scenic wilderness
Distance: Approximately 70 to 120 km of game driving

Depart at around 6:30 AM for another full day inside Ruaha, concentrating on areas that were not thoroughly explored the previous day. The extra time creates opportunities to find different animals and to spend longer enjoying good sightings rather than constantly moving. Your guide may follow riverbeds, open woodland or wildlife corridors depending on current conditions. Stop for a picnic lunch and use the break to relax before resuming the afternoon drive. Keep cameras ready because some of the day's most memorable scenes may occur unexpectedly as elephants cross the road, giraffes appear between baobabs or predators emerge from cover. Return to your accommodation in the late afternoon.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Attractions: Ruaha wildlife corridors, dry riverbeds, elephants, giraffes, antelopes and predators
Distance: Approximately 80 to 130 km of safari exploration

Have breakfast early and start the final Ruaha drive at approximately 6:30 AM. Spend the morning revisiting productive areas and looking for any wildlife that the group may still hope to encounter. By around 10:00 AM, leave the park and begin the journey toward Iringa. The shorter driving day gives everyone time to appreciate the surrounding highlands and arrive without rushing. Check into your midrange accommodation in the afternoon, then enjoy free time before dinner.
Time: Approximately 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Attractions: Ruaha morning game viewing, Iringa highlands and countryside
Distance: Approximately 130 km from Ruaha area to Iringa

Breakfast is followed by departure at approximately 7:00 AM for the Isimila archaeological area. Accompanied by a local guide, walk through the dramatic formations and learn about prehistoric tools, archaeological discoveries and early human history connected to the site. The visit provides an educational and visually interesting conclusion to the safari. At around 10:00 AM, leave the Iringa region and begin travelling back toward Dar es Salaam. Lunch and rest stops are included during the journey, with final arrival expected later in the evening.
Time: Approximately 7:00 AM to evening
Attractions: Isimila archaeological site, natural formations, cultural history and Iringa landscapes
