Mikumi and Udzungwa is a perfect combination for an African safari. Mikumi is a gem and home to elephant, giraffe, hippo, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, lion, leopard and a huge variety of birds. Then a walking safari up the Udzungwa Mountains offers a unique view of birds, monkeys and flora and fauna. At the top the views are breath-taking of African plains below. Enjoy cooling down in the waterfalls, either just dipping in your toes or going for a swim.

Depart Dar es Salaam on the SGR train, it will take you less than two hours to arrive in Morogoro. Upon arrival you will be met by our friendly driver who will take you to Mikumi National Park. Before setting out on a game drive you'll have lunch and relax a bit, whilst it is still hottest part of the day. In the afternoon you will get the chance to experience the cool breeze of the park with a beautiful sunset view as you explore the wilderness and its mighty animals.

Early morning drives are the best. In the peaceful cool of the morning you can see the sunrise in the beautiful skies stretching over the savannah, as you witness the animals stirring or heading back after a night hunt. It is another opportunity to catch a glimpse of the mighty lions, leopards, elephants, giraffe, zebra, antelopes, warthogs, hippos, monkeys and a wide variety of birds.

Walking through the forests that cover the Udzungwa Mountains is a unique experience. You may well get to spend more time with monkeys than you did in Mikumi! There are various options of trails to use on the mountains, from a one hour hike of 4km to three- four hours hike of 14km (the reward at the top is well worth it!). At the top of the 4 hr trail are Udzungwa's mighty Sanje Falls. Linger in the moment and have a swim or just dip your toe in the falls, whilst appreciating the spectacular view of the endless savannah stretching out below you.

The Maasai are one of the most interesting tribes in Tanzania. They are known for their bravery and strength without forgetting their unique way of dressing and dances. You will learn about their culture and nomadic lifestyle during your visit. After which, you will start your journey to go back home/to the airport.
