Departure from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park (5hrs)

Your Tanzanite Signature Safaris guide meets you at your hotel or the airport in Dar es Salaam and escorts you to the station. Board the SGR, Tanzania’s modern electric railway, for a scenic ride to Morogoro, where your guide welcomes you and you take in views of this historic town at the foot of the Uluguru Mountains.

From Morogoro, transfer to Mikumi National Park for a half-day game drive, with lunch enjoyed along the way. Look out for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and wildebeest as the golden afternoon light settles over the savannah, with hippos in the pools and lions resting in the shade.

As evening falls, check in at Camp Bastian Mikumi, unwind, and enjoy a gourmet dinner under the stars. Your first night in the bush is perfectly placed for the wildlife adventures that await at sunrise.

Into the Wild Heart of Mikumi

Into the Wild Heart of Mikumi

After a hearty breakfast at Camp Bastian Mikumi, you depart for a full-day game drive across the vast plains of Mikumi National Park. As the morning mist lifts, your guide takes you deep into the park, where the golden light brings the savannah to life and the wildlife is at its most active.

Mikumi is a haven of biodiversity. Large herds of buffalo and elephants graze the open grasslands, while giraffes, zebras, and antelopes move across the plains. Hippos and crocodiles fill the waterholes, lions watch from the shade, and birdlife such as the marabou stork fills the skies. Ancient baobabs, palms, and mahogany trees frame every view.

After a day of immersive wildlife viewing, you return to Camp BastianMikumi or related hotel as evening falls. Freshen up, enjoy a gourmet dinner beneath the stars, and drift into a restful night, with the sounds of the bush all around you.

Short Game Drive & Return to Dar es Salaam

Wake to the sounds of the bush and savor a relaxed breakfast at Camp Bastian Mikumi. Then you set out on a final morning game drive through Mikumi National Park, when the plains are alive and the light is at its most magical. Elephants roam the open grasslands, giraffes browse the acacia, and lions stir after a night on the hunt, a perfect farewell.

After a few unforgettable hours in the park, your guide transfers you to the SGR station in Morogoro. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in this historic town before boarding the train for a smooth, scenic ride back to Dar es Salaam, watching the Tanzanian countryside glide by. Your Tanzanite Signature Safaris journey concludes with a seamless transfer to Julius Nyerere International Airport or your hotel in Dar es Salaam.

Extend your adventure: let the safari flow into the sea. Continue to the white sands and turquoise waters of Zanzibar or the unspoiled marine paradise of Mafia Island, and pair your wildlife experience with barefoot island bliss.
