Fantastic safari
A major thank you to Enroute Africa tours for this safari. Fantastic experience, beginning to end we were stunned. From Selous to Mikumi. We have seen all that should be visible concerning animals. An extremely huge thank you to our driver Daniel. On account of Daniel who was from beginning to end with a lot of details on each and every animal

Epic ride
Words are not enough to thank Brian and Daniel, to whom we owe a tour that can only be described as epic. Brian was the perfect guide and made an extra attempt to show us everything we were interested in on this tour. We also appreciate its respect for wildlife. His insight is exceptional. There was no anima or bird he didn't have interesting stories to tell. What a wonderful meeting. From the beginning, Brian was exceptionally tolerant and full of understanding whenever we had questions or communicated requests. Our messages were sent immediately. We hope to return to Africa one day and if that is the case, there is no doubt that local administrations and experts will use it in the future.
Response from the operator: nous sommes tous heureux que vous ayez passé un moment incroyable avec nous et merci pour la critique

5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,600 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 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour?
+
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 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour 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 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour?
+
Included: Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities & Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 131 listed pickup locations in and around Dar es Salaam. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 5-Days Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
