Please Note: Day trips are a rush Safari consider staying overnight instead!
Day trip Safari to Mikumi by Mushroom Tours and Safari involves driving from Dar to Mikumi National Park and back in the same day, with the high traffic in Dar it takes up to 6 hours of driving to get to the park and start the game drives. That means the time spend for game drives is about 4 hours only which of course will not be enough to cover most parts of the park, only selected parts with high possibilities of sighting many animals will be covered so that the driver is able to balance the time to drive back to Dar and that you do not get back to Dar late at night. That being said a day trip will be most suited to those people who are absolutely in need of day trips, those who are in anyway have only a single day to go for a safari. Mushroom Tours and Safari recommends that if there are possibilities of spending a night within the park or doing a trip of more than one day then it is highly advised not to do a one day trip. Instead of a day trip you can opt for a 2 days safari or more.
