LOCATION

Mikumi NP

"Its one of the best safari experience of my life. At first I thought we were going for a game drive within Dar es Salaam city, but what I found out later is, its a full day safari adventure."

How Everything Started

It all began while in Zanzibar. I felt a need to enjoy a safari but in a budget way, with less logistic costs and not far from Zanzibar. My options were Mikumi National Park and Nyerere (Selous) National Park. After a full day of research online, Mikumi was the best choice. It is famously close to Dar es Salaam, resembles the Serengeti plains, and the density of wildlife is similar to Northern Circuit Parks.

Journey via SGR Electric Train

How do you get to Mikumi affordably? Flying from Zanzibar is expensive. From Dar es Salaam, it is quite affordable via the SGR Electric Train. The ride is swift, first-class, and scenic, passing through mountains, valleys, and the streets of Dar es Salaam. Booking is easy via the SGR Portal.

The Best Game Drive of My Life

Board the safari jeep. The vegetation plains are amazing. We saw herds of buffaloes and elephants. The highlight was a pride of lions with small cubs resting under the scrubs. My breath was taken away.
