7 Days Southern Tanzania Wildlife Safari
Overview
Overview
This itinerary is for travellers who want three Southern Tanzania parks in one week and accept some longer transfer days. It begins in Nyerere, continues to Mikumi and finishes in Ruaha, with a domestic flight back to Dar es Salaam to prevent the final day becoming another long overland transfer.
