6-Day Mikumi and Udzungwa Safari

The perfect combination of classic game viewing and active nature trekking

Most safaris keep you inside a vehicle, but this itinerary invites you to step out and explore. Your 6 Days Mikumi and Udzungwa Safari highlights two contrasting ecosystems in Tanzania's spectacular south. You will begin in Mikumi National Park, where the expansive Mkata Floodplain—often called the "mini-Serengeti"—hosts dense populations of lions, elephants, giraffes, and buffalo.

Midway through your trip, the landscape dramatically shifts as you enter the Udzungwa Mountains. Known as the "Galápagos of Africa," this biodiverse rainforest is entirely vehicle-free, allowing you to track endemic primates on foot and swim in the crystal-clear natural pools of the Sanje Waterfall.

• Game Drives in Mikumi — spot big cats and vast herds on the Mkata Floodplain.

• Hike to Sanje Waterfall — trek through ancient rainforests to a 170-meter cascade.

• Endemic Wildlife — look for the rare Iringa red colobus monkey in Udzungwa.

• Maasai Cultural Tour — meaningfully connect with traditional Maasai families.

• Comfortable Lodging — relax at Camp Bastian Mikumi and Udzungwa Forest Tented Camp.
