3 Days Mikumi National Park Safari Tour
Day by day
-
Day 1
Dar es Salaam Hotel / Airport – Mikumi National Park
You are met at your Dar es Salaam hotel or airport by our transport service then we start your 3 Days Mikumi National Park safari tour. Drive south to Mikumi National Park passing through the city limits with its modern building tapering off to reveal the rural homesteads ending 4 hours later with the slow speed bumps with signs to watch out for the wildlife that could be crossing between the two sections of the Mikumi park. At the park gate, you will be met by the 4X4 camp vehicles. Proceed to the camp for lunch and check in to your tents.
After lunch and a little relaxation by the pool, proceed for an afternoon of game viewing in the Mikumi National Park. Mikumi National Park provides an excellent opportunity to view diverse number of animals and birds in short period of time without too much of driving around. The wildlife viewing experience at Mikumi National Park can be experienced right upon entering the park where guests can encounter baboons, zebras and impalas. Safari guides often state that it is easier to spot a tree-climbing lion in Mikumi National Park than to spot them at Lake Manyara National Park.
African Spice guests also have the opportunity to view the unique Mikumi Giraffes that naturalists say seem to be a cross between the reticulated and Masai giraffes. Circumventing around the park trail leads you to the hippo pool, which is best visited during the late afternoons as the distant setting sun and the bobbing hippo heads create perfect pictures. After spotting the wallowing buffalos at the Mkata Flood Plains and elephants congregating near the water hole, return back to the camp for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Common questions
How long is the 3 Days Mikumi National Park Safari Tour?
This itinerary runs 3 days, starting and ending in Nairobi. It is a private departure, so the dates are yours to choose and the pace can be adjusted. If you would like more or less time in Kenya, we can rebuild the itinerary around that.
How many people will be in my safari vehicle?
Six at most, and that is a hard cap. Our Land Cruisers seat seven, so there is always a spare seat and every guest has a window and unobstructed access to the pop-up roof hatch. A fully private vehicle is available on any itinerary for a supplement.
When is the best time to do this Kenya trip?
July to October is peak season, with the Mara River crossings and the best trekking weather, and it carries the highest rates. March to May is the long rains: green landscapes, newborn game, very few vehicles and the lowest prices of the year. January to February is dry, hot and excellent for general game viewing. There is no bad month, only months that suit different things.
How do I book, and what deposit is required?
Send an enquiry and we return a day-by-day itinerary with every cost itemised, usually within 24 hours. There is nothing to pay to get a quote. To confirm, we take a 30% deposit, with the balance due on arrival. Changes are free up to 30 days before departure and our full cancellation terms are published on the site.
