Perfect first safari from Dar es Salaam. We saw lions, elephants, hippos and hundreds of birds in just two days. Incredible value for money.

Don't underestimate Mikumi — the Mkata Floodplains are stunning. Our guide was fantastic and the lodge was much better than we expected for the price.

We came for a quick safari and left completely converted. The evening game drive on day 1 was magical — we found a pride of lions on a kill as the sun went down.
