Perfekte Mikumi-Safari mit Saving Tour

May 8, 2026

Obwohl sich die Abholzeit geändert hat, war die eintägige Safari in den Mikumi National Park hervorragend von Saving Tour organisiert. Said und sein Team waren sehr freundlich und haben alle unsere Fragen schnell und professionell beantwortet.

Während der Safari konnten wir einen Löwen, Giraffen und Zebras sehen – für eine eintägige Safari war das wirklich ausreichend und eine tolle Erfahrung.

Wir empfehlen Saving Tour jedem, der eine gut organisierte und angenehme Safari erleben möchte.
