Wonderfull tour the second time!
This is the second time to visit Tanzania coast. This time round i decided to try Mikumi national park as is famed as some of the best parks to do on south. The team at Maasai mara safaris were quick to respond to my inquiry. The pick up was quite early, 4;00am, the guide explained we needed to arrive early in Mikumi. Everything was as promised. Smooth ride and great guide. I was able to spot lions, Big herds of elephants, wild beasts, buffaloes and many more. Will be back in summer for more trips. Very excited.

Excellent trip To Mikumi
My exploration of East africa through kenya and Tanzania ended with a visit to Mikumi national park. We were picked earlier than expected as the guide explained the distance was far. The park itself is beatiful with large herds of Elephants. We were able to spot the lions hunting a lonely Topi. Our guide mark was also friendly and did best to make sure we had many spots. Will definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear team, Thank you very much for booking your Mikumi day trip with us. Thank you for your rating, and great review. We welcome you back for more tours

Mikumi national park full day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does Mikumi national park full day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 Mikumi national park full day tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Mikumi national park full day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mikumi national park full day tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Mikumi national park full day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mikumi national park full day tour?
+
Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mikumi national park full day 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.
