7 DAYS SAFARI MIKUMI + RUAHA
This is a perfect safari combination to explore two of the southern national parks in Tanzania.
Mikumi National Park has a great variety of animals like the Big Five and the chance that you will encounter lions climbing up trees is higher here than in other parks! Ruaha National Park is not only the second-largest park but is probably home to more elephants than any other national park in East Africa.
This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide.

The park has a great variety of animals: elephants, buffalos, zebras and giraffes are relatively easy to spot, as well as lions mating and many hippos in the resident hippo pool!

Ruaha National Park
Ruaha National Park is the third largest national park in Tanzania. It lies along the Great Ruaha River, is known for its large elephant population, and is a true paradise for birdwatchers with over 570 species. Besides, you might catch a glimpse of lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, elands, sable antelopes, jackals, or the rare African wild dog. Game drives are special, as you drive through an untouched ecosystem in this relatively quiet but stunning park!
