This 4-day private Tanzania safari from Dar es Salaam combines classic wildlife viewing in Mikumi National Park with an active hiking experience in Udzungwa Mountains National Park and a traditional cultural experience in a Maasai village. In Mikumi National Park, you explore open savannah landscapes on game drives in a private Toyota Land Cruiser safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, with good opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes and other wildlife. In Udzungwa Mountains National Park, the experience shifts from vehicle to foot. A guided hiking safari takes you through tropical rainforest to the 170-meter-high Sanje Waterfalls, where you can also swim in the waterfall pool. The safari also includes a visit to a traditional Maasai village, adding a cultural dimension to the journey. This is a private and flexible safari, allowing you to experience three different sides of Tanzania — wildlife, rainforest and culture — in one itinerary. The tour starts and ends in Dar es Salaam.
