This is our 4 Days Southern Tanzania Safari package involving wildlife safari in Mikumi as well as getting active, by hiking the beautiful trails in the Udzungwa National Park which is also referred as the Galapagos of Africa.
The tour starts and ends at Dar es Salaam, which is the commercial capital of Tanzania and the main hub in Tanzania with many flights flying in and out of the Dar es Salaam International Airport. The tour is a private tour, so you can start on any date, but time of departure from Dar es Salaam is preferably early morning due to the long distance from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi; 5- or 6-Hours drive via the Dar es Salaam- Morogoro – Mbeya Highway.
Today very early in the morning, you will be met and picked up by one of our representatives from Safari Supremacy (who will be your driver and guide on this Safari). You will begin the drive southwest to the Morogoro area where Mikumi National Park is found. You will arrive in the afternoon, check into your rooms and have lunch. You will spend the afternoon at leisure either relaxing by the pool side or simply catch up with your favorite book. You will later have dinner and spend the night at your lodge.
You will rise up very early in the morning and after breakfast you will set out for a game drive in the Mikumi National Park . Doing Tanzania safari game drives early in the morning offers a unique chance to see the early risers as well as nocturnal animals returning to their hideouts. This entire day is dedicated to game viewing and you guide who is very knowledgeable about the animals in this park will drive you to areas that will offer you best game views. The pop-up roof on your car will give you undisrupted opportunities for photography.
