experience especially when the walk extends into wildlife habitats where encounters with freely roaming animals

are the norm like in Mikumi National park and other parks

breakfast we will go for a game drive till 1pm where you will go for lunch and rest a little bit (Not so much to see on

this time because of sun)

This tour can depart any day and can be organized for individual or group safari, we advise to leave early

morning (5am) as there is possibility to see a lot in morning before the sun is strong and animals will be looking

for shade

minutes to the park entry gate

After lunch and a short break you will go for a short game drive (about 1 hour) and then drive back to Morogoro
