Day 4: Mikumi National Park
Spend the entire day exploring the wonders of Mikumi National Park by means of exciting guided game drives. As dusk falls camp down once again at Camp Bastian Mikumi. During these thrilling excursions expect encounters with abundant avian diversity plus substantial populations of majestic giraffes, colossal buffalos, and towering elephants. With luck perhaps even spotting elusive predators like regal lions, stealthy leopards, and packs of African wild dogs roaming freely across their natural habitat. Other likely sightings could possibly feature cheeky zebras grazing peacefully amidst open plains, playful hippos lounging lazily about riverbanks, graceful antelopes known locally as 'hartebeests', amongst others...
