How to get to Mikumi - Access to Mikumi National park in Tanzania and getting there for Safari

1. By Train via the SGR (Recommended)

The high-speed Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is the most efficient and comfortable way to bypass Dar es Salaam’s heavy highway traffic.

  1. The Route: Board the modern, air-conditioned SGR train from the Dar es Salaam to the Morogoro Passenger Station.
  2. Travel Time: The train ride takes 1.5 to 2 hours to Morogoro. From Morogoro, you will take a 1.5 to 2-hour vehicle transfer (approx. 100 km) along the A7 highway directly to the park gate.


2. By Road (Private 4x4 Safari Vehicle or Public Bus)

Road travel is the traditional route, offering scenic views of the Uluguru Mountains and local villages.

  1. Private Safari Van/4x4: Your tour operator will pick you up directly from your hotel or Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR). The 300 km drive takes 4 to 5 hours depending on city traffic.
  2. Public Bus: Budget travelers can take daily commercial buses heading towards Iringa or Mbeya from the Magufuli Bus Terminal (formerly Ubungo) in Dar es Salaam. Request the driver to drop you off at the park headquarters or Mikumi town. The bus trip takes about 6 hours due to multiple transit stops.

3. By Air (Charter Flights)

Flying is the fastest option, ideal for tight itineraries or connecting beach holidays with a wildlife safari.

  1. The Route: You can book scheduled charter flights from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar directly to the Kikoboga Airstrip located inside Mikumi National Park.
  2. Airlines & Time: Carriers like Coastal Aviation and Safari Airlink operate these routes. The flight takes approximately 1 hour from Dar es Salaam and 50 minutes from Zanzibar.
