3 days Mikumi Walking Safari and Tour

Mikumi Walking Safari is the name given to our 3 days mikumi safari program which offers visitors a rare opportunity to explore the park in both foot and game drives which other packages do not.

Mikumi National Park is the nearest safari destination to Dodoma the Tanzania capital city and Dar es Salaam the country major commercial city. The Mikumi National Park shares its boundary to the south with Selous Game Reserve and Kilombero Game Controlled Area. Animals use to move within these three parks at different season of the year depending on the rains.  Animals such as Wild dogs, lions, Elephant, Buffaloes and Zebras migrate from the northern part of the Selous game reserve to Mikumi National Park. A part from the migratory animals there are also residents animals which used to spend their entire life in Mikumi national park.

The presence of high number of animals in this park guarantee visitors with a remarkable African wildlife safari experience where they can enjoy viewing animas on vehicles and walking safari which brings them much closer to nature.

Walking safari in Mikumi national park is done through two established walking trails. The walking trails pass through some game areas which guarantee visitors with the high chance to see game animals on the walk. While on the walking you shall be escorted by an armed ranger for the safety purpose. For long walking safari, move towards the north to Chamgore hills or for a short walking safari you can just climb the vuma hills.

Normally the walking safari is done in the morning or evening hours when the temperature is low. During this time animals are also active searching for their food taking advantage of the cool temperature. Enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature comprised of bird songs, animals’ voices and insects’ sounds.

This tour can be done all the year round but it is the best during the dry season when grass are short.
