1st safari as a couple
1st day we encountered many animals and had a great experience. We also had breakfast and lunch during the trip. We spent the night at a very nice lodge. 2nd day we did a boat safari in the river during the sunrise. Very beautiful. Guide was great and helpful. Overall very good experience (our 1st safari as a couple). It could be even better with more activities on the 2nd day as there is enough time.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your first safari as a couple and had such memorable encounters with the wildlife. It’s lovely to know that you enjoyed the meals, the lodge, and especially the beautiful sunrise boat safari. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide and his support throughout the trip. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about adding more activities on the second day. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we continue improving our safari experiences. Thank you once again for choosing us. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another beautiful adventure in the future.

Great experience, careful planned tour. The food at the Bandas could have been better - french fries were not warm; not to do with Nesa but the caterer.

It’s always our aim to ensure a smooth and memorable journey for all our guests. We also appreciate your honest comment regarding the food at the Bandas.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Private Safari Tour of Mikumi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 2 Days Private Safari Tour of Mikumi cost?
+
Prices start at $742 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi 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 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi?
+
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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi?
+
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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and Parking fees. Not included: Airport and departure taxes; Visa; and Alcohol. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Days Private Safari Tour of Mikumi include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 8 listed pickup locations in and around Dar es Salaam. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 Days Private Safari Tour of Mikumi offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. 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 Private Safari Tour of Mikumi?
+
