Nyerere & Mikumi Safari Tours

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.

You’ll be collected from your hotel in Dar es Salaam and embark on a drive to Nyerere National Park, which will take approximately five hours.

You’ll arrive in time for the hot lunch. In the evening and the following day will be dedicated to some activities including boat safari, walking safari as well as an unlimited game drive in Nyerere National Park.

Discover the jungle, savannah and river sides of the vast Nyerere National Park (previously the Selous Game Reserve) – an amazing place for game drives. This park in southern Tanzania has fewer visitors than the northern parks but boasts elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, giraffes, the endangered rhino, the rare African wild dog and more. It’s the second largest park in the country after Serengeti National Park, so be prepared to cover some miles!

A boat safari on the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park is both relaxing and adventurous! The boat takes you over the river and to nearby lakes, allowing you to spot many animals that come to the water’s edge.

In the morning, begin your journey with an en-route game drive heading toward Mikumi National Park, traveling through Northern Nyerere National Park. Upon arrival at Vuma Hill Tented Camp, enjoy a hot lunch and take a brief rest before immersing yourself in a cultural experience at a nearby Maasai village.

In the evening, return to the camp to relax with dinner and settle in for an overnight stay.

The following day, prepare to further explore Mikumi National Park. Choose between morning and afternoon game drives or opt for an adventurous full-day game drive.

The open horizons of Mikumi 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!

In the morning, you’ll leave the lodge with packed lunches and start your journey back to Dar es Salaam. Arrival in Dar es Salaam is anticipated in the late afternoon, where you can either settle into your pre-booked accommodation or proceed to Julius Nyerere International Airport where you’ll 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 Island!
