Mikumi National Park has over time progressed to be a wildlife safari destination filled with amazing activities. Located 283 km west of Dar es Salaam, the park was established in 1964 and up to now is widely considered the country’s 4th largest national park.
Lunch will be served inside the national park. In the afternoon, you will exit the park and go to Camp Bastian Lodge for your overnight and dinner. The food is good here and they are generally one of the better places to stay at Mikumi. As such they are usually fully booked, we advise you to plan your booking at least a few days before the actual safari to enable us to get you a room here. Accommodation alternatives are available in case they're required and your price will be adjusted accordingly if you select to stay at another lodge or hotel.
