2-Days Group Joining Budget Safari – Mikumi National Park
Overview
Discover the lesser-traveled southern gem of Tanzania on this 2-day group joining budget safari to Mikumi National Park, a haven for wildlife and one of the easiest parks to reach from Dar-es-Salaam. This tour is ideal for travelers on a tight schedule who still want a true African safari experience, shared with fellow adventurers to keep costs low and fun high.
Expect open savannahs dotted with baobab trees, great elephant herds, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and the charm of a budget-friendly escape into the wild all in the comfort of a shared 4x4 safari vehicle and guided by one of our expert driver-guides.
Itinerary
Meet your fellow travelers and driver-guide in Dar-es-Salaam in the morning. After a warm welcome and safari briefing, depart for Mikumi National Park (approx. 5–6 hours drive), enjoying views of rural Tanzanian life along the way.
Arrive at the park and go straight into an afternoon game drive, searching for lions lounging in the tall grass, grazing antelopes, large herds of elephants, and more. You’ll be amazed at the richness of wildlife within a relatively compact area.
In the evening, settle into your budget lodge or tented camp just outside the park.
Optional Experiences:
- Sunset drinks at the camp
- Storytelling by the campfire
- Visit to the local Maasai village (if time permits)
Wake up early for a sunrise breakfast and venture into the bush for a morning game drive, when animals are most active. This is your best chance to spot elusive species like leopards or hyenas before the heat of the day sets in.
After the game drive, begin your scenic journey back to Dar-es-Salaam, where you’ll be dropped off in the early evening at your hotel or the airport marking the end of a quick yet unforgettable safari with Afrique Aesthetic Safaris.
