“Memorable trip with friends - Went on a road trip to Mikumi, spent one whole day in Mikumi NP, with a night tour and a day hiking Udzungwa mountains to the waterfalls. It was a really lovely trip with friends, staying at Camp Bastian and our guide was Patrick. Patrick went above and beyond to help out and went an extra mile to provide a really great trip experience. The hike was quite a challenge but very enjoyable to finish it, and great to see the monkeys and chameleons that we saw. The game drive and night drives in Mikumi were great. A trip I will not forget!” - Reviewed on 2024-05-15
