Itinerary and highlights

Your adventure begins with a 6:30 AM scheduled morning flight from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park. Upon arrival, meet your professional safari guide and head straight into the park for a full-day game drive in a 4x4 safari vehicle.

Mikumi National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, antelope, hippos, and many bird species. The park’s open plains offer excellent wildlife viewing and beautiful scenery, often compared to the Serengeti.

Enjoy lunch at a designated picnic area or lodge before continuing your safari experience in the afternoon. After the game drive, transfer back to the airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar.
