Dar es salaam to mikumi national Park

Depart from Dar es Salaam early in the morning with a private van to Mikumi National Park. This will be a 5-hour drive with a stopover for lunch. On arrival, you will be immediately joined for a walking safari.

This relatively small (3230sq km) national park lies 300km west of Dar es Salaam and is the closest park to the capital. It is nestled between the Uruguru Mountains to the east and the Rift Valley escarpments in the Southwest. Although less spectacular regarding flora and fauna, the Mikumi National Park makes for a good impression of the African animal world and is very suitable for a short visit. There is a rich variety of bird species as well as large numbers of giraffes, buffaloes, and elephants, and close to the water holes are also lions, leopards, and hippos. You can also see zebras, lions, wild dogs, pythons, hartebeests, wildebeests, elephants, impalas, warthogs, elands and antelopes.
