2 Days Mikumi Weekend Wildlife Escape from Dar Midrange Package

Leave Dar es Salaam early enough to maximize your short break. As the vehicle travels towards Morogoro, concrete city views gradually change into cultivated fields, villages and mountain scenery. A refreshment stop will be arranged before proceeding towards the boundary of Mikumi National Park.

Herds of zebras, buffaloes and wildebeest may be scattered across the landscape, while giraffes browse from acacia trees and elephants move between feeding grounds.

Use the cooler morning period for another circuit through Mikumi. Your guide will check recent animal locations and select areas that complement the previous day’s experience. This may provide fresh sightings of antelopes, warthogs, baboons, elephants or lions.

The journey through the park can include a visit to the Hippo Pool. Here, hippos may be visible above the water while herons, egrets and kingfishers search for food around the wetland.

After the final wildlife encounter, begin the drive to Dar es Salaam. Arrival is generally expected during the evening, allowing you to complete your short safari and prepare for the coming week.
