    Two day in Mikumi Park

    Well organised and excellent trip. Tranpsort arranged from Dar-es-Salaam and back, meet and greet well organised both ways. Big shout out to Kuhu and Coreen, my guides for the two days. Aparr from being really noce and kind people, they really added value explaining about the animals and the flora and fauna. The lodge was clean, spacious and the food really enjoyable.

    A fantastic visit to Mikumi National Park

    Very well organized from pickup to drop off. Very clear communication from guides and staff. The game drives were longer than I was expecting, which was fantastic. Saw lots of animals, highlights being getting up close to elephants, a hyena emerging from its den, and lots of time with lions. The 2 days and one night was very efficient from Dar es Salaam, and the train cut the drive time in half. The train is new and modern, very comfortable and practical. Nuhu did a fantastic job tracking down the wildlife and explaining details about them and their behaviour. He had an excellent knowledge of the park. Would highly recommend Kihindo Tours to anyone! Excellent company!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Kihindo Tours! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Mikumi National Park safari and that everything—from pickup to drop-off—met your expectations. It’s great to know the extended game drives, wildlife sightings, and the new train experience made your trip even more special. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Nuhu—he’ll be very proud to hear that his knowledge and tracking skills made a difference. Thank you again for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another adventure in the future!

    Amazing and unforgettable experience!

    Kihindo tours deserves more than 5 stars! My wife and I took our 7-year old son and 13-year old daughter on a 2-day safari (1 day to see the animals and 1 day for a beautiful hike through the Uluguru mountains). Our experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. Everyone we met from Kihindo tours was extremely helpful and pleasant. We saw so many animals (6 lions) and loved our hike. The food was amazing everywhere, our lodging was beautiful, and service was excellent. We highly recommend Kihindo tours!

    Response from the operator: Dear Diego, Wow—thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with Kihindo Tours! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your family had such a memorable 2-days safari with us. It sounds like you had an amazing adventure spotting 6 lions and exploring the stunning Uluguru Mountains is no small feat! We're so glad your children enjoyed the trip as well, creating experiences that are fun and enriching for all ages is something we truly care about. Your compliments about our team, the food, lodging, and service mean the world to us. We’ll be sure to pass on your feedback to everyone involved in making your safari special. Thank you again for recommending us. We’d be honored to welcome your family back for another unforgettable journey in the future! Warm regards, The Kihindo Tours Team

    2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.

    How much does 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris cost?

    +

    Prices start at $490 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and Dinner. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; International flights (From/to home); Additional accommodation before and at the end of the tour; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 39 listed pickup locations in and around Dar es Salaam. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2 Days 1 Night Mikumi Adventure Safaris if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Dar es Salaam. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
