Look for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, zebras, and more, with time at Mkata, Chamgore, and the Mkata flood plains. Guides named Benson, Method, Shani, Freddy, and Nassary have led past departures.
Travel by private vehicle from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park for two game drives, including an evening outing and sunrise drive. Guides such as Gabriel, Nick, and Akida have handled trips, with meals, park fees, transport, and overnight accommodation included. Expect long road hours, flexible service, and possible sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and more.
Leave Dar es Salaam at 4:00am for the five to six-hour drive to Mikumi National Park.

Take the 6:00am express train from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, then continue by road to Mikumi National Park for morning and afternoon game drives. Your private group of up to four shares transport, lunch, refreshments, park access, and hotel pickup and drop-off. Expect lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, and more than 300 bird species.
“The only negative thing was the long way from DAR to Mikumi. All the rest was perfect. Our driver was very friendly and explained us a lot about Tanzania, their culture and for sure, the animals. We have seen a lot of them during our two game drives.”
Travel from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park in a private luxury van, then spend a full day on safari in an open jeep. Fredy Safaris arranges your transfers, lodge, meals, park fees, and English-speaking guide. Expect elephants, giraffes, lions, buffaloes, zebras, crocodiles, and a hot lunch inside the park.
“Thank you for the safari everything was amazing! I truly enjoyed the experience with Fredy and the luxury safari van. The hot lunch inside the park was very good, and the hotel was amazing as well. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Overall, it was an unforgettable safari experience, and I highly recommend this company.”
