6 days Southern Circuit Safari (Nyerere, Ruaha, and Mikumi)

The southern circuit is lesser-known. It is a perfect option to witness wildlife away from the crowd. In this itinerary, we take you to Nyerere National Park, Ruaha National Park, and Mikumi National Park. For six days, you will explore the landscapes, wildlife, and natural beauty of these parks.

Pick up from your hotel or airport and transfer to Nyerere National Park on a 6-hour journey. Arrive at the camp for dinner and embark on a boat safari. Witness beautiful birds as you paddle. You might also be able to spot hippos, crocodiles, and monkeys in the trees. Nyerere is the largest national park in Africa. It has richer wildlife and vegetation that remain untouched throughout the year. The giant Rufiji River is the major highlight of this stunning park. It is navigable by boat.
Today, you start the day with a morning game drive. Return to the camp for breakfast. Set off for an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch at Tagalala.
