Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Dar es Salaam, heading through Tanzania’s scenic countryside and rural villages en route to Mikumi National Park. After arriving, you’ll check into your midrange lodge or tented camp and enjoy a well-deserved lunch. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive in Mikumi—home to elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and more. Often likened to the Serengeti due to its wide-open plains, Mikumi offers exceptional wildlife viewing without the crowds. After the game drive, return to your lodge for dinner and a restful overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, set off for a full-day game drive to explore the park’s diverse habitats. From the expansive Mkata Floodplain to the woodlands and hills, Mikumi offers ideal conditions to spot predators such as lions and leopards, as well as large herbivores including elephants, hippos, and wildebeests. A packed picnic lunch will be enjoyed inside the park, allowing you to maximize your time with nature. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the hundreds of bird species found in the park. You’ll return to the lodge in the late afternoon for dinner and another peaceful night in the bush. For those seeking an extra thrill, an optional night game drive may be available (extra cost).
Begin your day with a cultural highlight—a visit to a traditional Maasai Boma near Mikumi. Meet local Maasai warriors and families, and learn about their unique customs, dress, and daily life. You’ll gain insight into their age-old cattle-herding practices, songs, dances, and social traditions. After this immersive experience, return to the lodge for breakfast and prepare for the return drive to Dar es Salaam. You’ll arrive in the city in the late afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your enriching 3-day safari and cultural journey.
