This 3-day Mikumi National Park safari from Dar es Salaam offers a classic Tanzania safari experience with 2 nights inside the park and an extended wildlife experience. On this private safari, you explore the open savannah landscapes of Mikumi National Park on game drives in a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, offering good opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and other wildlife. With 2 nights inside the park, you can enjoy flexible game drives during some of the most active wildlife hours of the day — early morning and sunset. You will have multiple opportunities to experience both sunrise and sunset game drives. The safari is private and flexible, allowing you to choose the pace of your day — balancing game drives with time to relax at your cottage inside the park. The drive between Dar es Salaam and Mikumi is also part of the experience. Traveling along the main highway through towns and villages, you get to see everyday Tanzania beyond the tourist areas and experience more of the country together with your driver-guide.
