4-Day Northern Tanzania Safari Extension
Extend your Tanzania holiday with a 4-day safari from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with a cultural stop arranged along the route.
Discover Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha on a 10-day southern Tanzania safari with wildlife drives, forest walking and a proposed return flight.
10 Days / 9 Nights
2–10 Guests
Connect four contrasting southern Tanzania destinations over ten days: Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha. This route combines wildlife drives, a guided forest walk and time in different landscapes, starting at Dar es Salaam's international airport and ending there after a proposed flight from Ruaha.
The word complete refers to this four-destination circuit, not every park in southern Tanzania. There are several long road days, and the Nyerere-to-Mikumi connection is particularly dependent on seasonal road access. The operator must confirm the route and flight availability before accepting dates; additional transit time may be necessary in wet conditions.

Meet your airport transfer at DAR and settle into your hotel. Use the remainder of the day to rest and review the safari plan. The first road transfer is scheduled for the following morning, allowing flexibility for international arrival times.
Depart for the Nyerere area after breakfast. The journey and access route depend on the chosen accommodation and road conditions. Settle into camp on arrival; an introductory activity is possible only if time permits. Your guide will confirm tomorrow’s programme with the camp team.
Spend the day exploring with your safari guide. Game drives form the core programme; a Rufiji-area boat activity may be arranged instead of part of the drive if the camp offers it and conditions allow. The confirmed quotation will specify activities. Keep your camera ready, but allow wildlife encounters to unfold naturally.
Set out early for a long transfer to Mikumi on the route confirmed by the operator. Seasonal access may require a longer alternative road journey or an added transit night, so this connection must be checked before booking. No game drive is promised today. Take regular breaks and arrive at your accommodation for dinner.
Enjoy a morning game drive in Mikumi, then continue to the Udzungwa foothills after lunch. The contrast between open wildlife country and greener mountain scenery is part of the appeal of this circuit. Settle into your lodge and prepare suitable footwear and a day bag for tomorrow’s guided walk.
Join an authorised guide for a forest walk, with the Sanje trail as the proposed main outing where conditions permit. Discuss trail length and steep sections before starting. A shorter alternative can be requested, subject to local options. Return to your lodge for a relaxed afternoon and a second night in the foothills.
Travel towards Ruaha via the Iringa area. Allow the day for the road transfer and rest stops rather than expecting a full wildlife programme. Arrive at your selected camp, settle in and prepare for a full safari day. The final travel time depends on roads and the location of your accommodation.
Spend a full day exploring Ruaha with a flexible game-drive plan. Your guide follows local sightings and accessible tracks while leaving time for observation and photography. A picnic lunch can keep you out in the park, or return to camp between drives if that better suits the group and camp location.
Transfer to the airstrip for the flight specified in your final itinerary. After arrival in Dar es Salaam, continue to the hotel and relax before your international journey. This city night protects the itinerary from an unnecessarily tight bush-flight connection; schedules and baggage allowances must be checked at booking.
Enjoy breakfast and your arranged transfer to Julius Nyerere International Airport. The safari finishes at the airport. Any additional Dar es Salaam stay or Zanzibar extension can be discussed separately and should be arranged before booking your onward transport.
