Day 1 Dar -es -Salaam Hotel / Airport – Mikumi National Park
You are met at your Dar es Salaam hotel or airport by your transport service. Drive south to Mikumi National Park passing through the city limits with its modern building tapering off to reveal the rural homesteads ending 4 hours later with the slow speed bumps with signs to watch out for the wildlife that could be crossing between the two sections of the Mikumi park. At the park gate, you will be met by the 4X4 camp vehicles. Proceed to the camp for lunch and check in to your tents.
After lunch and a little relaxation by the pool, proceed for an afternoon of game viewing in the Mikumi National Park. Mikumi National Park provides an excellent opportunity to view diverse number of animals and birds in short period of time without too much of driving around. The wildlife viewing experience at Mikumi National Park can be experienced right upon entering the park where guests can encounter baboons, zebras and impalas. Safari guides often state that it is easier to spot a tree-climbing lion in Mikumi National Park than to spot them at Lake Manyara National Park.
African Spice guests also have the opportunity to view the unique Mikumi Giraffes that naturalists say seem to be a cross between the reticulated and Masai giraffes. Circumventing around the park trail leads you to the hippo pool, which is best visited during the late afternoons as the distant setting sun and the bobbing hippo heads create perfect pictures. After spotting the wallowing buffalos at the Mkata Flood Plains and elephants congregating near the water hole, return back to the camp for relaxation, dinner and overnight.
