3-DAY MIKUMI SAFARI
from $296 per person
This safari is a short budgettrip from Dar es Salaam. It's the real classic of the southern circuit. Just about a 6 hours drive away from the city and a great variety of wildlife! You'll have a total of 1,5 day gamedrive, plenty of time to discover the beauty of Mikumi National Park.
DAY 1: DRIVE TO MIKUMI + HALF DAY GAMEDRIVE
Between 6-8 AM, you will be picked up at your accommodation in the city. You'll start your journey to Mikumi National Park, which will take about 5-6 hours. If you haven't had breakfast yet, you can stop on the way to pick up some local breakfast snacks.
Between 12-14 PM, you will arrive at Mikumi National Park. You'll have a hot lunch in the park or can opt for a lunch box so you can eat on the way and have some more time for gamedriving. Make sure to tell us which you prefer! After lunch, your gamedrive will start. Around 5:30PM, you'll start your journey back to the lodge.
Around 6PM, you will arrive at your accommodation where you can enjoy the facilities, eat some delicious food and get some rest to prepare yourself for another day full of adventure!
If you wish to end your gamedrive a little earlier to enjoy the lodge's facilities, that's possible! You decide yourself when you will start and end your safari.
DAY 2: FULL DAY GAMEDRIVE
Rise and shine!
Today you have a whole day of wildlife watching waiting for you. After a delicious breakfast at the lodge, you'll start your day full of nature and wildlife.
Between 6-8 AM, you will head back to the park. Your gamedrive will start right away! Not a morning person? No problem! You can decide the start and end time of your safari yourself.
Between 12-14 PM, you will have a hot lunch at the restaurant inside the park or you will have a picknick in the park. If you want to make a big tour, we suggest to opt for a lunch box so you can go far from the entrance. If you prefer a hot lunch, you can opt for a lunch at the park restaurant for no extra cost!
Around 5:30PM, you'll start your journey back to the lodge where you can get some rest after a busy day!
If you wish to end your gamedrive a little earlier to enjoy the lodge's facilities, that's possible! You decide yourself when you will start and end your safari.
