Itinerary

Day 1 – (-, l, d):
The safari car departs at 9 a.m.from Dar es Salaam  to make the 5-hour journey to Mikumi National Park. We serve local lunch/snacks on the way. Depending on traffic, the car usually gets to Mikumi by 2 p.m. allowing for a half day game drive.

We spend the night at Mikumi town hostels, usually at VETA hotel school. You can upgrade accommodation for a luxury lodge as well.

Day 2 – (b, l, d):
After breakfast at the camp, the car departs for the game ride. The gate fees allow for 24 hours in the park, so the game ride will last until the time the car entered the park the day before. After morning game viewing and lunch we drive back to Dar es Salaam starting latest PM 4.

Highlights

• Closest park to Dar es Salaam
• Guaranteed to see many animals and good game view during all seasons
• Animals: antelopes, cheetahs (occasionally), crocodiles, elephants, gazelles, giraffes, hippopotamuses, leopards (occasionally), lions, zebras, and more than 400 bird species

We can book hotel accommodation of your choice before and after the safari. You can continue the African travel with us to Zanzibar beach holiday or to climb Mt Kilimanjaro as well among many options.
