5 Days: Dust and Sweat Safari

Early in the morning after breakfast the driver will pick you up at the hotel in Dar es Salaam and begin your journey. An early start is advisable to avoid the morning traffic. Once you leave Dar es Salaam behind, the drive gradually follows the Tan-Zam-Highway and soon the lesser-known Uluguru Mountains will appear as a splendid backdrop while you continue to Mikumi. Landscapes of Mikumi provides a serene wildlife experience, commonly seen animals Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Antelope, Wildebeest, Eland, Crocodile, Hippo, Baboon. If luck is in your favor, you won’t miss to see Lions and Ultimately the Leopard. Mikumi inhabits over 300 species of birds namely saddle bill stork, hammer kop, malachite kingfisher, lilac breasted roller, yellow throated long claw, battler eagle etc. The highway cuts directly through the national park and sometimes wildlife can be seen along the road. After a long day you will arrive at your lodge/camp for the night and spend the afternoon at your leisure.
