    Your day starts just after an early breakfast when you have to leave the campsite, camp, or lodge to head for the sunrise game drive. You will undertake the morning game drive for about 4 to 5 hours before partaking of your hot lunch inside the park. Then, you will continue with the adventure through the Mikumi plains till late afternoon.

    Yellow baboons, Masai giraffes, African bush elephants, common elands, hippos, wildebeests, zebras, and many others are commonly spotted during the two-day game drives. You will occasionally come across lions, spotted hyenas, hartebeests, and jackals during these adventures. If lucky, you will see rare animals especially leopards and serval cats.
