A day trip to Mikumi, Tanzania’s fourth largest National Park is an experience to behold with the richness of the country’s Protected Areas with plethora of wildlife including Cape buffaloes, lions, Liechtenstein’s hartebeests, Masai giraffes, African bush elephants, spotted hyenas, the graceful Burchell’s zebras, Sable antelopes, leopards, jackals, common elands, the yellow baboons at the extreme southern side of the park and many others.
Unlike the safari destinations found in the Northern Circuit, Mikumi doesn’t receive crowds hence visitors can enjoy an exclusive wildlife-rich safari.
Pick up from your hotel in Zanzibar early morning by our driver and be transferred to the airport for a chartered flight direct to Mikumi National Park, lasting for about one hour. After safely landing at Mikumi National Park, our professional driver guides will welcome you for a full day game drive that will allow you to experience the totality of this Wilderness Protected Area.
Our Safari driver will be of assistance in spotting the common animals such as Cape buffaloes, elephants, wildebeests, yellow baboons, common warthogs, impalas, hartebeests, bushbucks, zebras, common elands, wildebeests and Defassa waterbucks. Also look forward to spotting the occasionally seen animals such as hippos, spotted hyenas, lions, giraffes, jackals and Nile crocodiles. On a lucky day you will be able to come across the rarely seen wildlife species that include the African wild dogs, leopards and spotted hyenas.
Take a short break to enjoy a hefty lunch within one of the numerous Safari Lodges or restaurants before continuing with the game drive. Meet more of the animals, explore their habitats while continuing to the waiting plane. Depart Mikumi National Park in the evening (preferably at 16:00hours) for Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. From here you can choose to be dropped off at the Hotel or continue with the international flight back home.
