Day 1: Dar es Salaam – Mikumi National Park

Begin your expedition with an early breakfast before transferring to the Dar es Salaam railway station to board the modern SGR train. Enjoy a relaxing, picturesque ride as you leave busy city life behind, journeying west towards Morogoro and soaking in the evolving landscapes from coastal plains to lush mountains. Upon arrival at Morogoro, you’ll be met and transferred by road to Mikumi National Park, often called the “mini Serengeti” for its abundant wildlife and open vistas. After a warm welcome at the park’s gate, embark on your first exciting game drive. Experience Mikumi’s signature scenes – herds of elephants grazing, giraffes browsing in acacia trees, and zebras trotting across the floodplains. Keep your camera ready for lions lounging under baobabs and perhaps even buffalo or wildebeest in the distance. As the sun dips low, you will be transferred to Chambo Villa for a hearty dinner and peaceful overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African night.

Day 2: Mikumi – Dar es Salaam

Wake up to the chorus of birdsong and enjoy breakfast at the lodge. Then set off on a morning and midday game drive, immersing yourself in Mikumi’s diverse habitats. Follow the seasonal rivers and woodland paths in search of elusive leopards, cheeky baboons, and an array of antelope species. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights into the park’s ecology and help you spot hidden wildlife gems. Along the way, take in the dramatic scenery of the Uluguru Mountains as a stunning backdrop to your photos. After lunch, savor one last look at Mikumi’s spectacular savanna before transferring back to Morogoro in the afternoon. Here, you will board an evening SGR train, relaxing in comfort as you travel back to Dar es Salaam. Reflect on your safari sights and sounds, knowing your Tanzanian adventure has created memories and stories to last a lifetime
