Mikumi National Park Tours & Trips
South of Dar es Salaam, the road opens into the plains of Mikumi National Park. Game drives pass through the Mkata floodplain and the wooded areas near Chamgore. Small lodges sit inside the park, and evenings are often quiet apart from the wildlife. It’s one of Tanzania’s more accessible parks, but it still feels close to nature.

We can’t stop raving about our trip to Tanzania, and especially about the amazing team at Migration Ventures Africa and our guide Kareem. Initially, we were a bit nervous about traveling during the rainy season, but honestly, it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! We were in great hands with an excellent vehicle and an awesome guide, Kareem, who made sure we didn’t miss a single moment. The journey was packed with thrilling adventures, from muddy trails to jaw-dropping game viewing, and we were constantly on the edge of our seats, never knowing what exciting encounter would come next. Some of the quiet moments, though, were just as magical driving through vast, open plains with animals dotting the horizon, then getting closer to reveal herds of buffalo, elephants, and wildebeest stretching out as far as the eye could see. And of course, the lions, cheetahs, and hyenas were never far behind, often lurking near the herds of herbivores. We also stayed at some incredible lodges, where the service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the accommodations were extremely comfortable, making our evenings and nights just as memorable as the days. Tanzania is truly one of the most stunning places we’ve ever visited. If you’re planning a trip, be sure to speak with Amos, the Director, as he can craft a completely personalized adventure tailored to your needs. Highly recommend it!

I was so nervous because I was by myself, but finally they were so nice with me and they take care of me all the time. The experience of the safari was incredible, my dream came true. They tried all the time to make me feel good. I enjoyed with all the stories and information that they told me. Definitely book your safari with them, I compared a lot of safari in different websites and now I am so happy to choose them 100%.
