Trip Overview

Leave Zanzibar in the morning, explore Mikumi National Park by private safari vehicle, and return to the island the same day.

Your day begins with pickup from your Zanzibar hotel and a transfer to the airport for the short flight to Mikumi National Park. On arrival, meet your professional safari guide and begin a private game drive across the park’s open floodplain and savannah.

Mikumi supports elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, antelope, hippos, lions and abundant birdlife. Lunch is included during the safari, followed by more wildlife viewing before the afternoon flight back to Zanzibar and transfer to your hotel.

Flight schedules and wildlife sightings vary. The final departure time, baggage allowance, pickup time and operating airstrip will be confirmed in your written quotation.
