    Mikimu Park !

    We had an unforgettable time with the Safari Partners team. Edward answered all our questions on Whatsap before booking. Then during the trip from France, he contacted us to let us know that Hamis was going to pick us up at Dar Es Salam airport in a van (very comfortable) to go to Morogoro. Once we arrived at the entrance of Mikumi Park, we met Patrick, our driver and guide for the safari. During the safari Patrick will do everything to make sure you see as many animals as possible. We saw many times lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, wildebeest, etc., etc.! It is magical, the sunrise and sunset are very pleasant moments during the safari. The hotel was in the park, we could take all our meals there and the rooms are comfortable. For the return trip, we were again transported by van with Hamis. We slept all the way to Dar Es Salam to take the boat and continue our stay in Zanzibar. Don't hesitate to contact them, they do their best for you to travel and enjoy serenely.

    My Wonderful Mikumi Safari

    This safari at Mikumi was just amazing. This is my first safari, and it is a great introduction. Also, if you are short on time and a budget, Mikumi is another reason why to go there. My guide was great, he was punctual and had a lot information on the park and animals. We did see a lot of animals from hippos, elephants, and a lot of exotic birds. Unfortunately, we did not see any lion or lionesses, but that is how nature works sometime.Three days at Mikumi should be suffice though to see all the sites. The accommodation where I stayed at was very reasonable. It gave you all the necessities and most importantly mosquito netting to protect you at night. Also, the food was decent. Lastly, the staff that were managing the place were very amiable to me. Overall, I would highly suggest Mikumi for a safari because it is a great introduction.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for booking with us, we are glad you had a great time and enjoyed our services We looking forward to go on safari with you in future Safaris Partners Team

    3 days 2 nights Mikumi midrange

    I had a wonderful time in Mikumi thanks to Safari Partners. My guide Frederic was supernice, explained a lot to me about all the animals and plants and patiently listened to all my questions. Even though I was travelling solo, I never felt alone on the trip. The park and the lodge are beautiful and I was lucky to see so many animals close up. A childhood dream come true! I can highly recommend this to everyone!

    The experience of a lifetime

    We enjoyed every second of the Safari, and every thing was very well organized. The people are punctual, professional, and kind. Special thanks go to our guide Fred, who spoke French very well, explained every thing he could about the animals we saw, and was very receptive to our requests and questions. On our second day, we started early in the morning to look for the lion (most interesting animal to see on a Safari) and we were the first ones who found him and carefully followed him as he was calmly moving forward ! The only thing we did not like that much is the food in the restautant of the Mikumi park hotel. But other than that every thing was perfect !

    3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $820 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 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 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 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip?

    +

    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 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip?

    +

    Around 5 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi National Park from Dar es salaam road trip 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.
