Itinerary

1. Wildlife encounter with game drive

   In the Morning

   • Early at 4:00 am pickup at the place of stay in Dar es salaam and transfer to the train station to board the train departure at 0600am, arrival in Morogoro at 0745am, pick by your safari guide and drive to Mikumi National Park, arrive at the park at 10:00 am, after park formalities embark on game drive in the park. The Park gives a good impression of African animals.(192 km / 1 hr and 40 min)

   In the late Morning

   • Explore the park's varied terrain, including a floodplain, the ‘little Serengeti,’ and hippo pools where the enormous creatures wallow in thick mud. Mikumi National Park is on the northern border of Africa’s largest game reserve, the Selous, part of a sprawling wilderness area reaching almost the Indian Ocean. 
   • Visitors to Mikumi National Park occasionally spot rare tree-climbing lions, and other resident animals include eland, impala, kudu, black antelope, baboons, and wildebeests. 
   • In Mikumi, expect to see animals such as Lions, buffalo, giraffes, wildebeests, Zebras, Impalas, Warthogs, elephants, hippos, more than 300 bird species, and different plant species. The park shares a common boundary with Selous Game Reserve to the South, forming a vast track of protected wilderness.

   In the afternoon

   • Lunch will be at Park Bandas at 2:00 p.m., and then we will proceed with the game-viewing drive in the park around the hippo pools (Kisungura Circuit). Most animals can be seen coming down to drink at water holes and the Hippo Pools from time to time, but the stars of the show will always be the hippos themselves.

   Departure

   • Later evening, around 04:00 pm, transfer back by road to Morogoro Town to board the 19:25 train and arrive in Dar Es Salaam at 21:05. Meet and transfer to your hotel.
