This is a perfect safari combination to visit three of the southern national parks in Tanzania.
Mikumi National Park has a great variety of animals like the Big Five and the chance that you will encounter lions climbing up trees is greater here than in other parks! Udzungwa National Park is known for sightings of the rare Iringa red colobus and the Sanje crested mangabey. You can find these two types only in this region. The park has the second-largest biodiversity of any national park in Africa. And Ruaha National Park is not only the second-largest park, but is probably home to more elephants than any other national park in East Africa.
This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide.
NOTE: Udzungwa is offering a small choice of accommodations, and these are very basic. Although we give you options for Gold and Platinum hotels for this route, these DON’T apply for Udzungwa!
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival at Dar es Salaam Airport, our friendly and knowledgeable guide will be eagerly waiting to warmly welcome you. He will be readily available to assist you and ensure a smooth transfer to your hotel. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of all your travel needs, providing you with a memorable and unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

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 easier 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!

Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a relatively small, mountainous national park, known for its rare endemic species. In this tropical rainforest, you encounter bush elephants, monkeys, several smaller mammals, and over 400 bird species. Animals that can only be found here are primates such as the red Iringa Colobus and the Sanje Crested Mangabey. But also the grey-faced sengi (an elephant shrew) is endemic to Udzungwa as are several remarkable bird species.

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

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