3-day Mikumi safari from Dar Overview

3-day Mikumi safari: Escape the bustle of Dar es Salaam and discover the untamed beauty of Mikumi National Park on this seamless 3-day safari, traveling in comfort aboard the modern SGR train. Ideal for adventurers seeking genuine wildlife encounters without breaking the bank or sacrificing ease, this package combines convenience with unforgettable game viewing.

Mikumi National Park, often hailed as Tanzania’s best-kept secret, boasts expansive plains dotted with ancient baobabs and teeming with diverse wildlife. Here, you’ll encounter elegant giraffes grazing alongside mighty elephants, stealthy lions prowling the Mkata River floodplain, and vast herds of wildebeest and buffalo, all set against spectacular birdlife.

Your journey begins with a scenic morning departure from Dar es Salaam aboard the state-of-the-art SGR. As the train winds through verdant countryside and vibrant rural villages, you’ll arrive refreshed in Morogoro, where a private transfer will escort you directly to your lodge at Mikumi. After a warm welcome and a chance to settle in, you’ll be ready to embark on your first game drive.

Day Two unfolds with a full-day safari across Mikumi’s golden savannah. Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll follow wildlife trails to hidden watering holes, enjoy a bush picnic beneath acacia trees, and gain insider insights into the park’s intricate ecosystems. Every turn promises a new wildlife spectacle.

On Day Three, greet the dawn with an early-morning game drive—when predators are most active and grazers roam freely. After a hearty breakfast back at camp, you’ll return to Morogoro for your comfortable SGR ride back to Dar es Salaam.
