Mikumi Day Trip Safari from Zanzibar by Flight

About this experience

Mikumi National Park is the best national park in Tanzania for a day trip, offering the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife without spending hours driving to reach the animals. Soon after landing, you can begin spotting wildlife in its natural habitat. Look out for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, hippos, lions and many other species.

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Zanzibar and take you to the airport for your flight to Mikumi. After landing at Mkata Airstrip, you’ll explore the park on a guided safari, with a picnic lunch along the way. After around six hours of wildlife exploration, we’ll take you back to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar and transfer you to your hotel. The whole experience can take up to eight hours, making it a great way to enjoy a full safari day from Zanzibar.
