Safari in Mikumi National Park

Mikumi is one of the most accessible national parks from the Tanzanian coast, which makes it possible to discover the African savannah on a day trip from Zanzibar. An early-morning flight gets you close to the park at the start of the day, before the safari begins in a 4x4 with an open roof.

With a driver-guide at the wheel, you set off across the Mkata plains, where the waterholes draw a particularly varied wildlife. Elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, zebras and impalas can be seen along the tracks. With a little luck, you may also catch sight of the African wild dog, one of the rarest predators on the continent.

The day carries on at the pace of the sightings and the drives through the park, with lunch served during the safari, along with water and drinks. At the end of the day you head back to the airstrip for the flight to Zanzibar. An intense immersion in the Tanzanian savannah, ideal for discovering African wildlife even on a short stay in Zanzibar.
