7 DAY SAFARI

7 days Southern Tanzania safari to Mikumi and Ruaha National Parks

Discover the ultimate 7 Days Mikumi Ruaha Safari. This 7-day Tanzania safari takes you through two of the country’s best southern parks. As a result, you’ll enjoy an authentic Southern Circuit safari, far from the crowds. What’s more, this private Tanzania safari includes a private vehicle and your own guide, so you can travel entirely at your own pace.

First, your Mikumi National Park safari begins the journey. This Mikumi safari is home to the Big Five. In fact, it’s famous for tree-climbing lions, a rare sight even in Tanzania. Because the landscape is compact, every Mikumi game drive feels easy and rewarding, making it a favorite Mikumi safari package for first-time visitors.

Next, you’ll continue to a Ruaha National Park safari. This Ruaha safari ranks among Tanzania’s largest parks. Moreover, it’s one of the top elephant safari Tanzania destinations in East Africa. Here, you can expect classic Big Five safari Ruaha encounters amid dramatic, remote Tanzania safari terrain.

Overall, this private guided Tanzania safari is fully flexible and tailor-made to your pace. It’s ideal for travelers seeking a genuine off-the-beaten-path Tanzania safari through the country’s untouched Southern Tanzania adventure.

Many travelers ask us this question, and the honest answer is: it depends. The right time for your trip depends on what you want to see, where you plan to go, your budget, and your personal interests. Here’s a quick breakdown to help guide your decision: Dry Season (June–October & December–February) Ideal for safaris and beach getaways, thanks to pleasant weather and excellent wildlife viewing. Keep in mind that hotel rates are higher and parks tend to be more crowded during this time. Mid Season (March & November) A great middle ground, offering moderate hotel rates and fewer crowds. Weather can be a bit unpredictable, and occasional rain may limit some activities, but wildlife sightings remain excellent and the overall experience feels more relaxed. Wet Season (April & May) Perfect for budget-conscious travelers. This low season brings the lowest hotel rates and the quietest parks. Heavy rains transform the landscape into a lush, vibrant scene, though they can occasionally affect travel plans. For a complete breakdown, visit our full guide: https://weguideafricansafaris.com/
Our Tanzania safaris give you front-row access to the country’s extraordinary wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. We specialize in private safaris, meaning you’ll have a 4×4 Land Cruiser or jeep entirely to yourselves. You choose when your day begins and ends, and our experienced guides are there to help you make the most of it. Want to catch the animals at their most active during sunrise or sunset, when temperatures are cooler? Or would you rather relax by the pool in the afternoon? The choice is yours. Since Tanzania’s wildlife is active at different times throughout the day, you’ll have countless opportunities to witness incredible moments in the wild.
At WeGuide African Safaris, we believe in co-creating your perfect journey — not just booking a trip. We start by getting to know your preferences and travel goals, then work closely with you until every detail reflects your vision. From accommodations to activities, your entire itinerary is tailor-made to your satisfaction. To make things easier, we also offer a curated selection of our most popular Tanzania safaris as a helpful starting point.
Absolutely. Tanzania is one of the world’s premier destinations for spotting the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo — all in their natural habitats. It’s a top choice for wildlife enthusiasts seeking authentic, unforgettable encounters.
Yes, Tanzania is a safe and welcoming destination for travelers. Tourist areas like Arusha offer a hospitable, well-organized environment, allowing you to explore the country’s stunning landscapes and wildlife with confidence. As with travel anywhere in the world, basic precautions — like keeping an eye on your belongings — are always recommended. Combined with the warmth of the local people and the sheer natural beauty of the country, Tanzania makes for a truly rewarding travel experience.
