  • Mikumi · Southern Circuit — Tanzania's most accessible national park — big five game viewing just 4 hours from Dar es Salaam.

What you can do with Mlimani Safaris Africa

This operator specialises in wildlife safari, cultural tours, walking safari, and mountain trekking. Trips can be combined into a single multi-stop itinerary or booked as standalone experiences.

  • Wildlife Safari — The classic East African experience — tracking lions, elephants, leopards, and the full Big Five across Tanzania's vast savannas and woodlands.
  • Cultural Tours — Tanzania's cultural fabric is one of its most underrated attractions — over 120 ethnic groups, a rich Swahili coastal heritage, Maasai and Hadzabe communities, medieval sultanate ruins, and some of East Africa's most vibrant markets and arts scenes.
  • Walking Safari — Experience Africa at ground level — walking safaris with armed rangers and professional field guides reveal the bush in ways that no vehicle ever can.

★★★★★

I was on a photography safari with Mlimani. The company knows all the national parks and accommodations very well and helped a lot in the planning. The guide Simon has an excellent Toyota Land Cruiser and drives very well. He has a very good sense to find the animals — big cats — in the bush, and always found us the best place for photography.

★★★★★

Our guide and driver was a Maasai person named Simon with the perfect eye, a great historian, and a fantastic sense of humor. The price was not as high as with the big companies and the service was supreme.
