Dar to Mikumi national park

Enjoy your first game drive in the golden afternoon light, a magical time when wildlife is active and the landscape comes alive. Keep your camera ready—you may spot elephants roaming the savannah, giraffes stretching high into the trees, zebras grazing in herds, or lions lazing under the shade of acacias. The wide-open plains dotted with iconic baobabs create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable first impressions of Africa’s wilderness.
