You will be met by our representative at DAR airport or your hotel and depart for Mikumi national park, with a picnic lunch stop on the way. Proceed to the park arriving in the afternoon for an amazing sunset game viewing and wildlife spotting such as elephants, giraffes, lions, hartebeest, hippos, elands, zebras. Transfer to your lodge for dinner. Overnight: Camp Bastian

After your breakfast this morning, head to the park for the entire day of game viewing. The Mikumi flood plain is one of the park's most significant features bordering the Uluguru and Udzungwa mountain ranges. Dinner and overnight at Camp Bastian

After an early breakfast, drive to your second destinaton of your tour. Spread across the Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania’s Udzungwa Mountains National Park boasts a diverse range of natural habitats including tropical rainforest, mountain forest, miombo woodland, grassland and steppe. This vast expanse of unspoiled wilderness serves as a habitat for over 400 animal species. These include, among others: elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, African wild dog, six different species of primate, and a variety of birdlife. Tourism is centred around hiking as the park is only accessible on foot. The most common walk is the Sanje Waterfalls trail which takes around four hours to complete and allows visitors to swim in the refreshing plunge pools at the bottom of this impressive 170-metre waterfall. The incredible diversity of tropical flora and fauna species has earned the park recognition as an Ecoregion of Global Critical Importance by the World Wildlife Fund, as well as a World Biodiversity Hotspot.  Arrive at the small and friendly Hondo Hondo Udzungwa Forest Camp located not far from Sanje waterfall. Here you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool and marvel at the formidable views of the surrounding sugar plantations. Overnight: Hondo Hondo Udzungwa Forest Camp

This morning, embark on a guided trek on the Sanje Waterfalls Trail. The tropical green & lush environment of Udzungwa is the natural habitat of several endemic butterflies, birds and Sanje mangabey monkeys. In the afternoon, say goodbye to udzungwa and transfer to Nyerere national Park, arriving at the relaxed and very friendly Sable Mountain lodge set over two small hills with great views from every room in the late afternoon. Dinner and overnight. Overnight: Sable Mountain lodge

Today, head out for a full day game drive and a thrilling boat safari on Lake Tagalala in the heart of the national park. Nyerere national park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is one of only two parks in the whole of Tanzania where you can do boat safaris, the other being Saadani National Park. After what promises to be a wonderful morning of game viewing, it’s exciting to suddenly find yourself at the edge of a huge lake. Just standing at the edge offers stunning views of wildlife coming down to the lake to drink and a myriad of birdlife fishing and drinking too. The boat safari gives a nice break from the game drive car and a lovely smooth safari gliding along the beautiful lake.There is nothing quite like sitting with your packed lunch amongst the huge hippo pods, crocs and dazzling birdlife on the lake. Overnight: Sable Mountain Lodge

Bid farewell to the lovely team at Sable Moutain this morning as you head back to Dar es Salaam with a final game drive in the preserve en-route.
