A 2-day trip from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park offers an exciting escape into Tanzania’s wildlife and scenic landscapes, providing a brief yet memorable safari experience.
Mikumi is known for its diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, wildebeests, and various antelope species. Bird watchers will also enjoy spotting numerous bird species such as fish eagles, lilac-breasted rollers, and hornbills.
The dry season (June to October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to gather around water sources. However, Mikumi can be visited year-round, and the wet season (November to May) brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists.
