For many people in the world, East Africa and safaris go hand in hand.

It is no wonder, therefore, that when people travel to Tanzania, going on safari is a top priority for many.

Unbeknownst to most people, though, Tanzania is the 31st largest country in the world, so if your business to Tanzania takes you to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city, going on safari is not necessarily as easy as a quick day trip out of town, unless of course you opt to visit Mikumi National Park. (To be honest, it would be a rushed day trip but would make a perfect weekend getaway.)

How Does Mikumi Park Compare to Other National Parks in Tanzania?

Mikumi National Park is the 4th largest national park in Tanzania and is an easy four-hour drive from Dar es Salaam (if you know how to navigate the heavy traffic leaving and entering town).

It shares an ecosystem with Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania’s largest game reserve (also one of the largest in the world) and animals travel freely between the two protected areas.

This is how, last September, when looking for a place to take my boyfriend (who had never been on safari) for his birthday, the obvious choice was to take him on a surprise visit to Mikumi National Park. (Mikumi National Park is one of the two closest national parks to Dar es Salaam. Saadani National Park is technically closer but more sparsely populated in terms of wildlife.)

Around the same time, one of my closest childhood friends and her recently-married husband were in Tanzania—it was her first time—so killing two birds with one stone, we decided to make a travel double date of it.

My friend’s husband highly recommended a partially Swiss-owned hotel, Tan-Swiss Lodge (Booking.com Rating: 8.4/10 – Very Good), where he had stayed on a previous visit to Tanzania.

He told us we would be able to book our safari through them.

Following his recommendation, we made our accommodation and safari bookings online, paying for it upfront (which had me a little apprehensive at first) with a bank transfer.

On the appointed date, we left Dar es Salaam using a back route in order to avoid traffic.

    1. Hi Caroline,

      Nice to see you on the blog! Still haven’t been to Tanzania? It’s truly lovely. And I am not saying that just because I am Tanzanian. The scenery and landscapes are out of this world. Karibu sana. 🙂

  1. Good morning
    Just want to knew the cost of tour guide and also hire vehicle inside the national park because I will be using my transport up mikumi

    1. Hi Mnubi,

      Welcome to Chick About Town!

      You can find the cost of the tour guide in the post above. I believe it’s US$20 if you are a Tanzanian resident.

      I don’t believe you can hire a vehicle from the park directly. You would have to organize that through a tour operator or your hotel. I hired a vehicle through Tan-Swiss Lodge and I believe we paid US$ 100 for the full day.

      Good luck, and enjoy your trip to Mikumi when you go.

      Biche
