Day 1

Zanzibar Dar es Salaam Morogoro Mikumi National Park

Zanzibar Dar es Salaam Morogoro Mikumi National Park

Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Zanzibar and transfer to the ferry terminal. Take the ferry to Dar es Salaam, then connect with the modern SGR fast train to Morogoro, a comfortable journey of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Upon arrival, meet your professional safari guide and continue with a scenic 2-hour drive to Mikumi National Park.

This route is the best way to avoid the long drive from Dar es Salaam, making your journey faster and more comfortable. After arriving in Mikumi, enjoy an exciting evening game drive through the park. Keep your camera ready as you search for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, and possibly lions in their natural habitat.

As the sun sets over the African savannah, experience the beauty and wildlife that make Mikumi one of Tanzania’s most popular national parks. After the game drive, transfer to Camp Bastian or Mikumi Bandas for dinner and an overnight stay.

Spend the entire day exploring different areas of the park with your experienced guide searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park while surrounded by nature. Continue your wildlife adventure during the afternoon as animals become more active around water sources and open grasslands.
