This is the most comprehensive southern Tanzania budget safari available, covering three major parks across seven action-packed days. Begin in Mikumi for classic open-plains wildlife, then venture into the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park for boat safaris on the Rufiji River. Finish in Ruaha — Tanzania's largest national park and a stronghold for wild dogs, lions, and rare antelope species. The southern circuit is wilder, emptier, and more remote than the northern parks, offering genuine off-the-beaten-path adventure. This safari requires some long driving days but rewards with extraordinary wildlife in uncrowded settings.
Depart Dar es Salaam early and drive to Mikumi. Afternoon game drive on the Mkata floodplain — lion, elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra.
