Mikumi National Park

Doing a Safari in the parks up north (Serengeti, Ngorongoro) requires quite a bit of time and money. Luckily there is a great alternative closer to Dar es Salaam: the Mikumi National Park It is a 5-hour drive from the city, and one can see the same animals in less time.

We recommend checking out Angalia Camp (website / tripadvisor) in the Mikumi National Park. They will organize tailor-made packages to meet your needs, for example a 3 days / 2 nights itinerary, including transport from Dar. The prices are very reasonable. The contact there is Patricia Falcón (email). Do tell her that “you are contacting her by the recommendation of Nathalie Jean-Baptiste and Eric Schaechter who live in Dar and are often at Mahaba”. Patricia is from Spain, and you can contact her in English or Spanish.
