Amazing safari experience
In total we did a four day trip with transport to and back from Dareasalaam. The driver was punctual and overall the trip was very pleasant. As soon as we arrived in the Camp in Mikumi we were informed that our guide for the next day is waiting to discuss the details for the safari. The guide was super nice and spoke English well. In total he had 22 years of experience and thanks to him we managed to see 20 lions in total 🦁. All together we really enjoyed our experience and we would definitely recommend Ottosafari - good price for a good service ☺️

Would definitely recommend!
My friend and I went with Otto to Mikumi park for a three day Safari. We would definitely recommend the experience. Otto knows all the best places and has a broad knowledge of the animals and Tanzanias culture.

Southern circuit family trip
We, as a family of 2 adults and 10 years old daughter, spent six days at the Southern circuit tour prepared by Otto. Our main target were mammals and because of limited time we included in itinerary Mikumi NP, Udzungwa mountains and the Nyerere NP (formerly part of Selous game reserve). The trip was very well organized. Unfortunately because Otto had some health issue he was not able to join our tour. We spend almost all the trip with driver/guide Whiteman, who was professional and nice guy. Whiteman did the trip enjoyable even for our daughter what could be challenging sometimes. At Mikumi NP we spent 3 nights at Camp Bastian (app. less than half an hour from park gate) and this accommodation we could absolutely recommend. Huge family chalet, very nice pool for refreshment and delicious food in restaurant. The park itself is surprisingly nice. We did not expect breathtaking experience, but the park is quite rich in animals and we enjoyed two days of our visit. Highlight was leopard, also elephants, giraffes, zebras and several species of antelopes are common. Udzungwa mountains is worth to visit. It is different safari experience, because of possibility to walk. The trip to the waterfall is half day trip including swimming at two places. It is very good for primates. We stayed at Hondo Hondo camp, what was beautiful place – yellow baboons, blue monkeys, Angolan colobus and red colobus could be seen even in the camp as well as banded mongoose. Selous was at the beginning disappointment. Currently the construction work for new hydro energy plant are realized and the main road through the park is busy with trucks, what has huge influence on animals there. So after visiting Mikumi NP the presence of animals in the accessible part of the park seems to be low. On the other hand this place was excellent for predators! In our two days we saw 3 lions, group of hyenas enjoying freshly killed eland and group of African wild dogs. Originally the agreement for our accommodation was one night in Selous tentend camp and second night inside the park in Lake Manze Camp as we prefer to stay inside the park – to have chance to spot some nocturnal animals. Finally we stayed both nights at Selous tented camp and it was excellent choice! Unfortunately (or fortunately for us) we were the only guests at the camp. The manager was very polite and food was excellent. Tents were clean and located in beautiful environment at the bank of the river. As a bonus was suni and elephant shrew observation in the morning close to the camp. So highly recommended! Our experience is probably significantly influenced by current COVID situation worldwide so we met very few people inside parks. And the camps were sparsely occupied too. So for us this was great advantage. Generally I could say: - The trip was very well organized and I could recommend Otto for organization of Tanzania safari. If we came back, we would definitely ask him for other trip. - Our guide Whiteman was excellent accompaniment and we would like to use his service in the future if possible. - All the camps/lodges recommended by Otto were excellent choice. - I could recommend Mikumi and Udzungwa for sure. If I knew the situation on Selous, I would probably accept the proposal of Otto for choosing Ruaha instead of Selous, but because of predators the Selous was at the and not a real disappointment.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $802 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 Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days 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 Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days 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 4 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 Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days?
+
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 Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days 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 Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days?
+
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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days 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.

Does Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Mikumi Np Mid Range Tour 3 Days offered in?
+
