Mikumi Safari Tour: Day Trip Return Flight From Zanzibar

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Mikumi National Park lies alongside the Northern border of Africa's biggest Game Reserve - the SELOUS – forming a unique ecosystem. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the fashionable centrepiece of Mikumi, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. Some spotted lions survey their grassy kingdom, and the Zebra, Giraffes, Elephants, Wildebeest, Impala, and Buffalo herds migrate across the park. This tour starts from Zanzibar airport at 07h00 and arrives at Mikumi Airstrip at 08h00, received by our safari guide. Directly you will start a safari game drive touring the game-rich area of Mkata plains. The plain is very famous for its concentrations of wildlife. Also, visiting the famous Hippo pool whereby many come to drink water. Hot lunch during lunchtime then proceeds with your journey exploring the African bushes before returning to the airstrip at around 15h30 for your flight back to Zanzibar.

  What a fantastic day. Very early start (4.30am) . Transferred to the airport and then to Mikumi national park. There was three of us and another couple on our jeep, plenty of room and a cool box full of soft drinks and water. All the jeeps (approx 20) went off in different directions. Saw all animals including lions close up. For us it was the perfect length of time. The guide and the driver were exceptional. The lunch, which can be very hit and miss in this sort of experience was surprisingly nice. Tip. The plane is extremely hot so take a fan with you and don't forget your passports.

• 510/10, we hit the jackpot with Nixon!

  Nixon was our driver for the day and we couldn't have been happier. He was thoughtful, knew exactly where to go, and shared so much interesting information along the way. His driving was smooth and steady, so we could simply sit back and enjoy the views. The car was clean and comfortable, which made the longer stretches a real pleasure. When our flight was delayed, he took us on an extra round so we wouldn't have to wait at the airport.That kind of care made the whole day special. If Nixon ends up being your driver, you're in great hands. Highly recommended!
