8 Days - Selous/Udzungwa/Mikumi Safari

When it comes to Tanzania safaris, most people think of the Serengeti, Selous, and Ruaha National Parks. These two parks, located north of Selous, are sometimes ignored, resulting in fewer visits. When combined with Selous, it makes for a fantastic southern safari circuit. Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a day excursion from Mikumi, but you could like to stay a night or two and learn more about this unique eco-system.
