Simply Amazing! - An absolutely amazing experience. We booked this last minute and I have to say, I'm so glad we did!
At the airport transfer it seemed complete chaos, but we boarded the little plane and landed on the airstrip.
We immediately got into our jeep with 4 others and started our safari. Our driver was awesome, great knowledge, super friendly and made us feel very welcome. We saw a whole mixture of wildlife up close and personal. Giraffes, elephants and pumbas just walking next to you!. The first day was really tiring as we had a 4am collection time that morning.
We had breakfast and lunch in the park, which was lovely.
We arrived at the overnight accommodation which was a surprise, as the room was not how it was sold (double check yours as this happened to a few guests). Our room was swarmed with army ants and had quite a few issues. The management were brilliant and moved us to another room, so all good.
The food at the lodge was great, so with full tummies we had a well earned rest.
At 7am the next morning we started the 2nd day. By 9.30am we had discovered a small group of lions, just sleeping. Only a few feet away and totally not bothered by us one bit.
We saw 19 different types of animals and birds over the 2 days. The photos were amazing.
Side note, if you suffer from a bad back, you may need to rethink about booking as the roads are unlike any we've encountered and you are really thrown around in the jeep. Also make sure you have easy clothes to get in and out of as you need to wee in the bushes.
It was such a fabulous experience, and you're looked after. Highly recommend:)

Safari Partners agency highly recommended - We highly recommend doing the safari at Mikumi Park with the local agency Safari Partners. Edward, the boss, is very responsive to all your requests for information, and very attentive to what you want.
We visited Mikumi Park in the company of Patrick the great driver and Stéphane the French-speaking guide who loves speaking French. They are both adorable and very attentive to your expectations. Thanks to them, we saw zebras, giraffes, lions, elephants, buffaloes, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, impalas, superb multicolored birds. We were able to take great photos of the animals. Patrick stopped every time we asked to take photos. They were very patient, very helpful, and explained lots of things to us about wild animals. And best of the best.... we were only the two of us in the 4x4 equipped with a sunroof. We arrived at the park around 3 p.m. on day 1 and left at 1 p.m. on day 2. So we enjoyed the magnificent landscape at sunset and sunrise the next day.
We recommend without any hesitation this local Tanzanian agency for your safari, which also benefits the local economy.
This agency also offers safaris to the Selous and Ruaha parks.

They were very experienced which allowed us to experience 2 incredible days.
Very good organization on the part of Safari partners. I recommend !

2 days 1 night safari - I am not eve sure where to start because everything was beyond perfect. The customer services was diamond for me. The entire team took extremely good care of me. I was traveling alone and Felicia was kind enough to take photos of me during the safari. Patrick the driver was phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable. He understand what was important to me and went above and beyond to endure that not only did I see but was left breathless. The office Staff very communicative and attentive to my questions and shared suggestions. Hamis the driver that pick me up from the airport and drive me all over was beyond amazing. During our drive he shared great information of the things I would see on the road. Great little stops and made sure he took me to places to get locally made things, took me try local coffee in the market in his hometown ( which is where the office is ) again beyond accommodating. I would highly suggest you book with them you’re not only going to get the perfect photos on this safari but you’re going to walk away knowing you were taken care of well. Oh and my accommodations at the luxury camp exceeded my expectations and the customer service at that camp increÃble. Book with these guys , I promise you will be beyond satisfied

Fantastisch game drive with patrick!! - We have already done several game drives in Africa.
But with Patrick it was really fantastic! He drove very relaxed through the park. He knew so much about the animals. And took the time for everything. We also saw everything we wanted to see.
So highly recommended!!!

Perfect trip - If you are even considering visiting Mikumi, you must go with the fantastic team at Safari Partners. The staff are truly gens who welcomed me with open arms. Edward responded to my questions seemingly before I even pressed send. Halmisi picked me up in a very nice and comfortable car and stopped at all the roadside stands that I thought looked interesting to let me try new foods (fresh pineapple and fresh pastries and Maasai bbq). Patrick is the best guide you could ever ask for in Mikumi. Beyond seeing nearly every animal (he has lots of guide friends, so if one of his friends sees a lion, they call him and tell him where to go), he had the biggest heart. He taught me more Swahili in 2 days that I learned in a 12 week class and all with a joking smile on his face. He is truly an expert on the park and wants to get to know you as friends (he called me his granddaughter). I highly recommend choosing the Vuma Hills accommodation for luxury camping. The food is all from local farms and markets, you eat dinner with monkeys, and wake up to a beautiful view of the park. I could not recommend a trip to Mikumi any more with Safari Partners. I hope to return soon. Asante sana!

Safari mikumi - Accompanied by my 2 children we had a great time with Patrick and the photographer Nassimbo. Both are very friendly, my children and I enjoyed this safari. And let's leave with lots of memories in our hearts and in our heads. Thank you to safari Partners for having organized an unforgettable birthday for my children.
I recommend this activity, because very rich in emotion, entertainment. The meals are delicious and the room is spacious. The immersion with the animals is great, we see them up close. Thank you very much.

Simply the best - It was the best experience - everything was organised and the schedule was greatly planned. We could see almost every animal we imagined and our guide Patrick knew exactly where the animals are. He was like an animal whisperer. We could learn new things about African animals that we didn’t knew before. We saw lion, elephants, giraffes, apes, red bishop, chicken eaters, snake eaters, two leopards, zebras, hippos and the cherry on the cake was on the departure day when we saw a lioness as well. It is good balance of money and value. And with two days you can experience a lot. It was good that the trip started and ended from Dar Es Salaam and our driver April was the best car driver in Tanzania. It was convenient that we could be in contact with our organizer Edward via WhatsApp. And Mikumi wasn’t that crowded so you can really enjoy being there.
