    An Amazing journey!

    This is such a worth while trip! We saw everything we wanted to see including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes zebras etc. Our tour guide Khalifa was just amazing. He knew so much about the animals and he brought a trainee tour guide on the game drive to help fill the gaps. He was funny and so helpful with everything. I would recommend him to anyone. The hotel is great, really feels like you’re in the park with the animals. They take your safety very seriously whilst also allowing you the freedom to enjoy yourself. The bar and restaurant served great beer and food. This is a must do Safari!

    Short but worth it.

    We booked our safari with Luitours and Safari’s. We had amazing experience at Mikumi National Park, everything went well, from the pick up to the drop off point. Our driver was very kind, knowledgeable and he showed us lots of animals in the Park. We also want to appreciate the man from the office (Ibrahim) who arranged everything and gave answers to all our questions. We highly recommend this agency. Asante sana!

    Very nice private safari with my wife

    Communications with Ibrahim were really pleasant, he's replying really quickly and that's appreciable. He answered all of my questions and responded to all of my needs. The planning fitted perfectly what we asked for and everything was great. The driver and guide, Hassan, was very helpful, patient, kind and he explained us lots of things about animals. Thanks to Ibrahim and Hassan, we enjoyed a lot our safari in Mikumi, the car was very confortable with fresh water and other needed things. I recommend this company, everything was great :) the lodge was nice, and Hassan our guide adapted the planning to my wife and me. Assante sana !

    2 Days Best Safari to Mikumi National Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Days Best Safari to Mikumi National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $520 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park?

    +

    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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park?

    +

    Around 2 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park 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 Best Safari to Mikumi National Park?

    Included: government taxes and mineral bottled drinking water, English professional speaking guide; 3 meals per day, park fees, hotel pickup and drop off, game drive activities, accommodatio; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: flights, tips and personal items. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +

    Is 2 Days Best Safari to Mikumi National Park wheelchair or stroller accessible?
