MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE
MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK
Day Safari, Walking Safari and Night Time Safari
Having visited Mikumi National Park numerous occasions ourselves we can personally recommend a half or full day safari. During our visits we have been excited to see up close lion, elephant, leopard, giraffe, hippo, buffalo, zebra, warthog, wildebeest, impala, kudu, lizards, snakes and numerous types of birds.
If you enjoy the thrill of being close to nature and the wild animals we would also recommend a walking safari! The park’s game ranger will escort you on a 6km walk through the park where you will hopefully get to see lots of the animals along the way. At the end of your walk a car will collect you to transfer you back to the camp.
In addition, the park also offer night time game drive's, on the couple of occasions we have done a night time game drive we have been fortunate enough to see hippo's grazing and lions enjoying their catch of the day.
