4-Day Mikumi & Nyerere National Park Wildlife Escape

Arrive in Tanzania and begin your safari journey with a scenic transfer toward the fringes of Mikumi National Park. Settle into your lodge near the park’s edge and, if time allows, enjoy a relaxed stroll through the surrounding landscape before dinner. This tranquil first evening introduces you to the rhythms of the African bush and builds anticipation for tomorrow’s game drives.

After breakfast, enter Mikumi National Park for a full day of wildlife exploration. Known for its open plains and diverse wildlife, Mikumi offers excellent opportunities to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and a variety of predators against the backdrop of acacia-dotted grasslands. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the shade of a tree, then continue your safari into the late afternoon before returning to camp for dinner and rest.

Today you travel deeper into Tanzania’s wilderness to Nyerere National Park (formerly part of the Selous Game Reserve), a vast mosaic of riverine channels, woodlands, and open plains teeming with wildlife. Enjoy uninterrupted game drives as your guide tracks animals through this expansive park, home to elephants, buffalo, hippos, and a rich array of birdlife. Lunch in the bush keeps you close to nature before returning to your lodge inside or near the park’s boundary to unwind under African skies.

On your final morning, embark on one last game drive in Nyerere National Park, where early-morning light enhances wildlife viewing and photography. Afterward, enjoy breakfast and prepare for your transfer back toward your departure point. Reflect on your safari highlights — from majestic herds to quiet moments in wild spaces — as you continue onto your onward journey.
