  • Elephant herds, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, impala and lion
  • Hippo pools at the Mikumi waterholes
  • Excellent birdlife: lilac-breasted roller, bateleur, yellow-throated longclaw
  • Easy road access from Dar es Salaam - perfect before or after Zanzibar

  • Local driver-guide
  • Park fees
  • Accommodation and meals as per plan
  • Bottled water

Good to know

About 4–5 hours by road from Dar es Salaam. Great as a short safari on its own or combined with Nyerere (Selous). Dry season (June–October) offers the best game viewing around the waterholes.
