Day trip to Mikumi National Park

Date: 4^th March 2012

Early Sunday we set off to the Mikumi National Park. By 8am in the morning we arrived at the Park entrance. Due to the heavy rains our journey was delayed by about one hour. Mikumi National park is located about 300km from Dar es Salaam.

Unexpectedly the safari vehicle we booked was not in good condition and we had to use the same vehicle which used to travel from DAR. I recommend not hiring safari vehicle from Genesis hotel. During our morning dive we were able to see couple of young lazy lions laying on grass plan.  In addition to that we saw impalas, few zebras, Giraffes and buffalos. I was lucky enough to capture a fight between two young impales. Further we saw few bird species and I was able to capture southern Ground-Hornbill, While-Brown Coucal and African Jacana. Photos are posted in another post click below links to redirect.

Birds | Cats

We drove back to Mikumi Wild life camp for lunch. After enjoying the nice food we thought of going on evening game drive. Due to lack of fuel in Mikumi town we had to cancel our drive.

Around 4:30pm we started our journey back to Dar es Salaam.

We didn’t have enough time to spend in the bush due to unexpected problem; it was a quite good safari but bit tiring. However was able to capture some interesting moments of nature.
