Overview
This 5-day itinerary combines two of Tanzania's Southern Circuit parks: Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park), one of Africa's largest protected wilderness areas, and Mikumi National Park, the most accessible southern park from Dar es Salaam.
Selous offers boat safaris along the Rufiji River alongside classic game drives, while Mikumi's open grass plains give a similar feel to the Serengeti on a smaller, more compact scale — a good combination for travelers who want Southern Circuit wildlife viewing without the more remote logistics of parks like Ruaha or Katavi.
See our Mikumi guide and Nyerere guide, or contact us to book this itinerary.
