Day Trip to Mikumi

Safari summary

Experience the raw, untamed beauty of Southern Tanzania on a full-day group joining safari to Mikumi National Park, a hidden gem just a few hours from Morogoro or Dar es Salaam. Often referred to as the "mini-Serengeti," Mikumi offers sweeping savannah landscapes and diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and an impressive array of birdlife. This group tour is designed for travelers looking for an affordable and authentic safari experience in a less-touristy setting.
Your journey begins early in the morning with a scenic drive toward Mikumi National Park. Upon arrival, you'll enjoy an exciting game drive in a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle, led by a professional guide who will help you spot and understand the behaviors of wild animals in their natural habitat. Midday, you’ll break for a packed picnic lunch inside the park, followed by an afternoon game drive through the open plains and acacia woodlands. The tour concludes with a return drive to your pickup point, making this an ideal choice for those wanting to witness Tanzania's southern wildlife without committing to a multi-day safari.
