Enjoy a 2-day luxury lodge safari in Mikumi from Dar es Salaam, with comfortable accommodation, road transfers and two guided game drives.
A quick look at the tour style, experiences, travel months and accommodation for this package.
Enjoy Mikumi’s wildlife alongside a comfortable overnight stay on this two-day luxury lodge safari from Dar es Salaam. Travel by road into Tanzania’s Southern Circuit, then explore the Mkata Floodplain on an afternoon game drive before checking into a luxury lodge selected for your trip. The following morning brings another opportunity to look for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, birds and predators before returning to Dar es Salaam. Time at the lodge gives you a welcome break between the road journey and the game drives, while your guide keeps the itinerary organised around the hours available. This package suits travellers who want a short wildlife trip with accommodation that feels like part of the experience.
06:00–12:00 | Drive to Mikumi: Meet your guide in Dar es Salaam for the road journey to Mikumi National Park. As you travel beyond the city, the scenery shifts towards smaller communities and open countryside. Comfort stops can be made during the transfer, allowing you to arrive ready for the afternoon. Your guide will introduce the park’s wildlife and explain how the game-drive schedule fits around your lodge stay. Once at Mikumi, continue to your accommodation or begin viewing wildlife on the way, according to the day’s timing.
12:00–14:00 | Lunch and luxury lodge arrival: Enjoy lunch and check in at the luxury lodge arranged for your safari. Take time to refresh, settle into your room and enjoy the surroundings after the drive. Your guide will confirm when to meet for the afternoon game drive and discuss the route. This lodge break gives the day a relaxed rhythm while leaving time to explore Mikumi before evening.
14:00–18:00 | Afternoon game drive: Travel across the Mkata Floodplain, stopping to watch wildlife against Mikumi’s wide grassland views. Your guide will look for elephant groups, giraffes browsing near the trees and herds of zebras, buffaloes and antelope. Lions may be seen, although their movements cannot be predicted. There is time to photograph memorable scenes and listen to your guide’s explanations of the animals and habitats. As the afternoon ends, return to the lodge and enjoy the comfort of your overnight stay.
Activities: Road transfer, luxury lodge check-in, afternoon game drive.
Distance: Approximately 300 km by road, plus driving inside Mikumi.
Time: Around 5–7 hours by road and 3–4 hours on the game drive.
Attractions: Mkata Floodplain, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and Mikumi’s grasslands.
06:30–10:30 | Morning wildlife drive: Start early for a second exploration of Mikumi before the return transfer. The cooler morning offers a different atmosphere from the afternoon, with changing light and another chance to find active wildlife. Your guide may take a different route so you see more of the accessible game-drive area. Watch for herds on the plains, birds near the woodland and animals moving between feeding and resting places. When you find a good sighting, pause to enjoy it before continuing towards the lodge.
10:30–12:00 | Return to the lodge: Freshen up, collect your luggage and enjoy lunch before checking out. This final lodge stop gives you time to relax after the morning drive rather than moving straight into the road transfer. Your guide will confirm the journey and drop-off details before departure.
12:00–18:00 | Road journey to Dar es Salaam: Leave Mikumi and travel back through Southern Tanzania. Comfort stops can be made as needed during the drive. On reaching Dar es Salaam, your guide will take you to your agreed hotel or other drop-off point, completing your luxury lodge safari.
Activities: Morning game drive, lodge check-out, lunch, return road transfer.
Distance: Approximately 300 km by road, plus driving inside Mikumi.
Time: Around 3–4 hours on the game drive and 5–7 hours by road.
