8-Day Mikumi, Udzungwa & Ruaha Safari

2–10 Guests

Tour Overview

Experience Tanzania at the right pace.

Travel from Dar es Salaam through Mikumi and the Udzungwa foothills before continuing to Ruaha on this eight-day southern Tanzania safari. Game drives alternate with a guided forest walk, giving the journey a different rhythm from a park-only road circuit.

The proposed plan includes seven nights and a flight from Ruaha back to Dar es Salaam on day seven, followed by a city overnight before departure. This avoids compressing the long return drive into the last day. Road transfers remain substantial, the Udzungwa walk requires suitable mobility, and the final air connection must be confirmed for your dates.
