Day 2: Mikumi National Park Full-Day Game Drive

Wildlife viewing begins right upon entering the park, where you may encounter baboons, zebras, and impalas, just to mention a few. You will also have the opportunity to see the unique Mikumi giraffes, which naturalists say seem to be a crossbreed between reticulated and Maasai giraffes. Lions can also be easily spotted in this park.
Your game drive around the park trails leads to the hippo pool, which is most visited during the late afternoons, when the distant setting sun and the bobbing hippo heads create perfect pictures. After spotting the wallowing buffalo at the Mkata flood plains and elephants congregating near the water hole, drive back to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay at Camp Bastian Mikumi Lodge.
