Southern Tanzania - Offroad Tanzania Safaris

Discover the Hidden Treasures of Southern Tanzania: Mikumi & Nyerere National Parks

Mikumi National Park, often compared to the Serengeti for its sweeping plains and rich wildlife, is a gem just a few hours from Dar es Salaam. With its easy accessibility, Mikumi provides a perfect introduction to Southern Tanzania’s wild charm. The park is home to large populations of elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, buffalo, and an impressive variety of birdlife. The open horizons and abundant wildlife make Mikumi ideal for game drives and photography.

Further south lies the vast and untamed wilderness of Nyerere National Park, Africa’s largest protected game reserve. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nyerere is a sanctuary for iconic species including the endangered African wild dogs, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, lions, leopards, and diverse birdlife across savannahs, rivers, and wetlands. One of its greatest highlights is the opportunity for boat safaris along the Rufiji River, a rare and thrilling way to observe wildlife from the water — something not offered in the Northern parks

We specialize in crafting custom itineraries that combine both Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks, allowing clients to experience a diversity of landscapes, wildlife encounters, and activities in one seamless journey.
