Twin Parks Southern Escape é 4-Jour Safari é Southern Tanzanie
Two of southern Tanzanie's most magnificent parks in four remarkable days é Mikumi's open lion plains and elephant herds at Dar es Salaam's doorstep, then the vast Nyerere wilderness with its Rufiji River boat safari, walking safari with armed rangers, and the wild dog country of the south.
Sentiers du Havre operates this itinerary in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser with a 360é pop-up roof, an expert Anglais-speaking southern circuit guide, and all accommodation, park fees, and safari meals included. The Southern Circuit is Tanzanie's hidden gem é wilder, less crowded, and in many ways more rewarding than the more famous Northern Circuit. This is the Afrique that most visitors never see.
The Parks é Ce qui attend
Parc national de Mikumi
Tanzanie's fourth-largest park and the most accessible from Dar es Salaam é Mikumi delivers genuine open-plains safari from the moment you enter the gate. The Mkata flood plain is the park's wildlife heartland: a vast open grassland where lion prides hunt, elephant herds gather at waterholes, and giraffe browse the acacia canopy. Zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, impala, and warthog move across the plains in large numbers, and the park's hippo pool is one of Tanzanie's most reliable and impressive.
Parc national de Nyerere
Afrique's largest protected area at 50,000 kmé. The Rufiji River is the park's beating heart é enormous hippo pods, crocodile concentrations, and superb bird diversity along its banks. The wild dog population is one of the most significant remaining in Afrique. Boat safaris and walking safaris with armed rangers make Nyerere uniquely versatile among Tanzanie's parks.
Le Itinéraire
1
Dar es Salaam ? Mikumi é Afternoon Game Drive
An early 5:00 AM departure from Dar es Salaam for the drive to Mikumi Parc National via Morogoro é where a hot lunch stop breaks the journey before the final stretch into the park. You enter through the Mikumi gate in the afternoon, and the first game drive begins immediately: the Mkata flood plain spreads out before you, and the safari begins with a warm reception from the park's resident wildlife é impala herds, elephant families, Masai giraffes at the acacia canopy, and the first lion sightings on the open grassland. Dîner and overnight at Camp Bastian.

Mikumi Journée complète ? Transfert à Nyerere
Petit-déjeuner from the lodge, then a morning game drive covering the hippo pool, the Mwanambogo Dam area, and the open plains é the classic Mikumi circuit that consistently delivers lion, elephant, buffalo, and superb birdlife. After the game drive, the long drive to Nyerere Parc National begins é a seven-hour journey through increasingly remote and spectacularly untouched southern Tanzanie countryside, with picnic lunch en route. You arrive at Selous Safari Lodge in the late afternoon é the sound of the Rufiji in the background, hippos grunting from the river.
3
Full Jour Nyerere é Game Drive + Boat Safari
A full day in Afrique's largest park. The morning game drive explores the miombo woodland and grassland zones é the landscapes most likely to yield lion prides, wild dog packs, and the enormous buffalo herds Nyerere is known for. Picnic lunch in the park. The afternoon transitions to the river: a boat safari on the Rufiji, where hippo pods surface alongside the boat, crocodiles line the sandbanks, and fish eagles call from the riverbank trees. The evening light on the water is extraordinary.

Safari à pied à l'aube ? Retour Dar es Salaam
The final morning is the walking safari é the experience that makes Nyerere fundamentally different from any northern park. An armed ranger guide leads you into the Selous Forest at dawn, tracking lion prints, following elephant pathways, reading the sounds and signs of the wild at walking pace. Return to camp for breakfast, then the drive back to Dar es Salaam with packed lunches for the journey é arriving at your hotel, ferry terminal, or Julius Nyerere Airport in the afternoon.

Pourquoi Aventures sur les sentiers Haven
Nos spécialistes du circuit sud ont beaucoup guidé à Nyerere, Mikumi, Ruaha et Udzungwa. Ils connaissent les meilleurs itinéraires de safari, les concentrations d'animaux sauvages selon la saison et les coins cachés de ces vastes parcs intacts.
All southern safaris depart in a private, custom-built 4x4 Land Cruiser with a 360é pop-up roof é never shared with strangers. Your vehicle, your pace, your experience.
The Southern Circuit is Tanzanie's most undiscovered safari destination é fewer tourists, wilder landscapes, and wildlife encounters with depth and intimacy impossible in the Northern Circuit's busier parks.
Sentiers du Havre is based in Moshi, Tanzanie é not a booking platform abroad. Our local team has deep knowledge of road conditions, seasonal wildlife movements, and the best lodges throughout the Southern Circuit.
Chaque safari dans le sud peut être prolongé, combiné, amélioré ou adapté à votre groupe. Ajoutez l'expérience de randonnée d'Udzungwa, prolongez avec la plage de Kilwa ou combinez-la avec le circuit du Nord. Racontez-nous votre vision.
Sentiers du Havre fonctionne dans le strict respect des réglementations TANAPA et TAWIRI. Nous utilisons des lodges communautaires lorsqu'ils sont disponibles et soutenons les initiatives anti-braconnage à Nyerere et Ruaha.
