Sit back, relax, and let us take care of all your travel needs, providing you with a memorable and unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

Day 2 - 3: Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park lies at a six-hour drive from Dar Es Salaam and is Tanzania’s fourth largest national park. The open horizons and abundant wildlife draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti plains, but its location close to Tanzania’s largest city makes Mikumi more accessible. The park has a great variety of animals: elephants, buffalos, zebras, and giraffes are relatively easy to spot, as well as lions mating and many hippos in the resident hippo pool!

Day 4: Hike in Udzungwa to the Sanje Waterfalls

There are no paved roads in Udzungwa National Park, making it perfect for shorter and longer hikes. The four-hour hike to the Sanje waterfalls is both challenging and refreshing, as you hike up the mountain and can reward yourself with a plunge at the bottom of the waterfall. Along the way, you might spot rare monkeys in the trees or see elephant tracks. Stay hydrated and enjoy this great walk!

Day 5 - 6: Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is the third largest national park in Tanzania. It lies along the Great Ruaha River and is known for its large elephant population. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers with over 570 species. You might also catch glimpses of lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, elands, sable antelopes, jackals, or the rare African wild dog. Game drives here are special, as you drive through an untouched ecosystem in this relatively quiet but stunning park!

Day 7: Half Day Boat Safari in Nyerere National Park

During a 2-3 hour boat safari, discover the scenic Rufiji River and its animals. From the boat, you might spot hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, many birds, and a beautiful sunset! For the sunset, you’ll set foot on one of the small sandbanks on the river, where you can stretch your legs or enjoy a drink while the sun sets in this magical environment. Experience the serenity of a river completely surrounded by nature at this golden hour.

Day 8: Nyerere National Park

After breakfast we’ll leave Selous Kinga Lodge with a packed lunch to enjoy on our game drive on the way to Mikumi National Park. Mikumi National Park is nestled between the Uluguru Mountains to the northeast, and the Rubeho Mountains, Udzungwa Mountains and Rift Valley escarpment to the southwest. As part of the Selous ecosystem, it benefits from the highest game density of the entire conservation area. The landscape here is beautiful and the wildlife prolific. You can expect to see animals like elephant, giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu, wildebeest, antelope, tree-climbing lion, leopard, wild dog, jackal and an amazing array of colorful birds.

Day 9 - 10: Flight to Dar Es Salaam and Flight Home

This is your last day! Today, you fly to Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar Es Salaam, from where you will catch your flight home. Having second thoughts? Don’t hesitate to extend your holiday to one of Tanzania’s paradise islands such as Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia!
