Day 1

Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park

Your 2-Day Mikumi Safari from Dar es Salaam starts with an early morning pickup (approx. 5:00 AM) to beat the city traffic. Enjoy a scenic 5–6 hour drive through the changing landscapes of Tanzania, passing vibrant local markets and the Uluguru Mountains.

Upon arrival, we head straight into the park for a game drive. The Mkata Floodplain is the heart of Mikumi, where you will spot lions, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. After a bush lunch, continue your exploration until the golden hour, then retreat to your lodge for a relaxing evening.

​

  • Activities: Scenic road transfer, afternoon game drive.

  • Highlights: Lions on termite mounds, giant elephant herds, Mkata plains.

  • Overnight: Camp Bastian Mikumi.

Day 2

Sunrise Game Drive & Return to Dar es Salaam

The second day of your 2-Day Mikumi Safari from Dar es Salaam focuses on the "golden hour." We head out at sunrise when the predators are most active. Watch the savannah wake up as hippos return to their pools and giraffes graze in the morning mist.

After a late breakfast at the lodge, we enjoy a short "en-route" game drive as we exit the park. We will arrive back in Dar es Salaam in the late afternoon, dropping you off at your hotel or the airport.

​

  • Activities: Early morning game drive, return transfer to Dar.

  • Highlights: Sunrise photography, birdwatching, spotting "The Big Four."

  • End of Safari: Late afternoon drop-off in Dar es Salaam.
