Description

Escape the beaches of Zanzibar and dive into the wild heart of Tanzania with this exclusive full-day Mikumi National Park safari by flight—perfect for travelers short on time but eager for a true African safari experience. Your adventure begins early with a convenient hotel pickup in Zanzibar and transfer to the airport for a scenic domestic flight to Mikumi National Park, located near the famous Selous ecosystem. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your professional safari guide and set off on an exciting 4x4 game drive across the park’s vast savannah plains, often compared to the Serengeti. Mikumi is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Keep your camera ready as you search for lions lounging in the grass, herds of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, and even elusive predators. The park’s open landscapes make wildlife spotting easier, offering excellent photographic opportunities throughout the day. Midway through your safari, enjoy a delicious bush lunch in the park, surrounded by nature. After lunch, continue your game drive, exploring different areas and increasing your chances of encountering more animals in their natural habitat. In the late afternoon, you’ll return to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar, where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel—ending your day with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s wildlife.
