Begin with an early game drive while the plains are cool and wildlife activity is often higher. Search for lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes and other animals travelling between feeding and resting areas. The morning atmosphere also offers attractive natural light for portraits and wildlife images.
Continue to the Hippo Pool, where the group may observe hippos in the water and crocodiles near the shoreline. Birdlife around the wetland can include kingfishers, herons, storks and African fish eagles. The guide will select additional routes according to wildlife movements and the group’s interests.
Following the final game-viewing session, leave Mikumi for the drive back to Dar es Salaam. Refreshment and comfort stops will be included where appropriate, with arrival expected in the late afternoon or evening. Drop-off will be provided at the previously confirmed location, completing your midrange women-only Mikumi safari.
