Day 1:
Leave Dar es Salaam for Mikumi National Park.
This early morning you will be picked up by your safari guide from your residence in Dar es Salaam or your hotel or even from the Airport if you arrive early enough and you will drive out of the city as quick as possible to beat the traffic jams. Soon you will be out of town and drive at a steady pace along the Mbeya Highway via Chalinze and Morogoro town arriving by mid-morning or early afternoon depending on your departure time from Dar es Salaam. Lunch can be taken at a camp inside the park or along the way and as soon as you register at the park’s entrance at Mikumi National Park you will embark on your first game drive in search of wild animals and birds. You will do game drives until later in the afternoon before dark when you will check in at a lodge camp at Mikumi National Park or just outside the park for a well deserved refreshing shower followed by dinner and overnight.

Pro Tip:
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s lively business hub, is the gateway to your 2-day Mikumi safari adventure. While the drive to Mikumi takes around 4 to 5 hours—sometimes more due to traffic—the best way to maximize your safari time is by taking a flight. A quick aerial transfer saves you from long highway delays and lets you dive straight into the heart of the wilderness.
For a smooth trip, consider booking an early flight to arrive refreshed and ready to explore. This way, you skip the exhaustion of long road travel and spend more time spotting wildlife in Mikumi National Park instead!
