2 Day Road Safari: Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park
Day 1: Dar es Salaam → Mikumi National Park → Afternoon Game Drive
Early in the morning, depart from Dar es Salaam by road heading west towards Mikumi National Park. The journey takes approximately 5–6 hours, passing through the scenic landscapes of Morogoro and the Uluguru Mountain range.
Upon arrival, you will check in at your lodge or tented camp near or inside the park and enjoy lunch.
In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive across Mikumi’s vast plains. The park offers excellent wildlife viewing due to its open terrain, making it easy to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, and possibly predators like lions and hyenas.
As the sun sets over the savannah, return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive → Mikumi → Return to Dar es Salaam
Start the day early with a sunrise game drive when wildlife is most active. This is the best time to spot predators returning from hunting and herbivores grazing in the golden morning light.
After breakfast, enjoy a short final game drive as you exit the park, capturing your last safari moments.
Later, begin your drive back to Dar es Salaam, arriving in the afternoon or evening, marking the end of your adventure.

Daigle Tours, a family-owned company since 2010, specialises in customizable safaris across Tanzania’s Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Circuits. Based in Dar es Salaam, we excel in Southern Tanzania’s less-crowded parks like Nyerere and Ruaha. Our exclusive lodge near Nyerere National Park offers unique wildlife experiences. With experienced guides, top-tier vehicles, and personalised service, we ensure a memorable safari.
Daigle Tours is the first choice for the Southern Circuit because:
- We’re based here – Our head office is in Dar es Salaam so we can easily access the best parks in the region, and we know them inside out.
- Exclusive Safari Lodge in Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous) – We own and operate a lodge on the border of Nyerere National Park, so you can enjoy the whole Daigle Tours experience when you stay with us there.
- True Experts – We can’t think of any other safari companies of our size who share our vast knowledge of the region. We can’t wait to show you around our homeland.

WHY CHOOSE SOUTHERN TANZANIA?
Why Southern Tanzania?
Southern Tanzania is Tanzania’s best-kept secret, offering unrivaled wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and authentic cultural encounters with fewer visitors. Explore Nyerere National Park’s vast wilderness, cruise the rivers of Selous Game Reserve, and connect with local communities—all with the expertise of Daigle Tours, your local safari specialists.
Why Southern Tanzania Stands Out:
Why Visit Western Tanzania?
Western Tanzania is wild, remote, and utterly authentic — the ultimate off-the-grid adventure. Track chimpanzees in Mahale and Katavi’s untouched wilderness, walk with habituated troops in ancient forests, and feel like the only person on the planet, expertly guided by Daigle Tours.
Why the Western Circuit Stands Out:
Why Zanzibar & the Tanzanian Islands?
After the dust and drama of safari, sink your toes into Indian Ocean heaven. From historic Stone Town in Zanzibar to the whale-shark waters of Mafia and the private-island bliss of the archipelago, Daigle Tours delivers your perfect tropical finale.
Why the Tanzanian Islands Stand Out:
