What people love about Mikumi National Park Tours
- 3 Days 2 Nights Mikumi Wildlife Lodge Safari
Amazing experience, would recommend it to everyone! I booked a 4-day trip to Ruaha&Mikumi. Our group turned out to be 5 female solo travelers, and we had the best time ever! Thanks to the other girls, of course, but definitely also thanks to our great guide ERASTO , who made us feel comfortable right away with his great professionalism and never-ending good mood. Everything happened as promised: we had an awesome guide, the food was excellent, the campsites ,we had everything we needed, and every possible question or request was answered in no time. Add some of the most amazing sceneries in this world to all this, and you know it's an adventure of a lifetime. We enjoyed our Southern Circuit ever.Mind you RUAHA NATIONAL PARK is the largest park in Tanzania. We Highly recommend MIGRATION VENTURE AFRICA for your Tanzania Trips.
