A 2-day safari to Mikumi National Park offers a compact yet rewarding wildlife experience. Located just a 4-5 hour drive from Dar es Salaam, Mikumi is known for its open savannahs, which are home to diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and buffaloes.
On the first day, visitors typically arrive in the afternoon for a game drive, where they can spot various animals. In the evening, guests stay at lodges or campsites within the park. Day two begins with an early morning game drive, which is ideal for viewing predators and other wildlife, followed by a return trip to Dar es Salaam.
This short safari is perfect for travelers looking for a quick but immersive wildlife experience.
