Mikumi's best hours, the afternoon and the early morning
Kikoboga Gate, Mikumi National Park.
The day trip by train is long; staying one night makes it easy. You see Mikumi in the late afternoon and again at first light, the hours when animals are most active.
You ride the SGR express from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, where your guide is waiting with the vehicle. After lunch you game drive on the Mkata floodplain and sleep at a lodge or tented camp near the park.
Next morning there is an early drive before lunch and the train back.
No flight, no slow road out of Dar
Two game drives at the best times
A night near the park, full board
