Start your adventure with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Zanzibar. Take the fast ferry to Dar es Salaam, then board the SGR train to Morogoro for a scenic ride through the countryside. After lunch at Doma Village, visit a traditional Maasai boma before heading to your lodge in Mikumi for a well-deserved rest.
On day two, rise early for a full-day game drive in Mikumi National Park. Spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, and countless bird species as your guide takes you deep into the park’s best viewing areas. Enjoy lunch inside the park before continuing your wildlife search in the afternoon.
On your final day, travel back to Dar es Salaam, stopping for breakfast in Chalinze Village, then board the afternoon ferry to return to Zanzibar.
