Highlights
  • Mikumi National Park - Mikumi National Park is situated adjacent to the Northern boundary of Africa’s largest Game Reserve - the SELOUS - creating a distinctive ecosystem. The vast expanses and rich fauna of the Mkata Floodplain, Mikumi’s stylish showpiece, often draw parallels to the renowned Serengeti Plains. Here, lions with spots can be seen overseeing their verdant domain, while herds of Zebra, Giraffes, Elephants, Wildebeest, Impala, and Buffalo roam throughout the park.

The excursion commences at Zanzibar airport at 07h00, with an arrival at Mikumi Airstrip by 08h00, where you’ll be greeted by our safari guide. Immediately, you’ll embark on a game drive to explore the wildlife-dense Mkata plains. This area is well-known for its high density of animals. Additionally, you’ll visit the renowned Hippo pool, a popular spot for these creatures to hydrate.

A warm meal will be served at midday, followed by further exploration of the African wilderness before heading back to the airstrip around 15h30 for your return flight to Zanzibar.

SAFARI FOR A MILLION PHOTOS - Tomek Dworczyk Zanzibar - We were on safari on February 24, 2024 with Tomek Dworczyk - an amazing enthusiast, traveler and photographer. He professionally performed his task, talking interestingly about the habits of animals inhabiting Mikumi Park and taking amazing photos with them. Of course, we received photos from the trip taken with professional equipment and great shots. We recommend Tomek with full confidence that the participants of his trips will certainly be satisfied.

Best team for Mikumi Safari from Zanzibar - Amazing team and superb organization. We visited Mikumi Nation Park at the beginning of February for a one-day trip, and it was a fantastic experience. We started in Zanzibar early in the morning to be the first group in Mikumi. Safari was amazing - full day experience in the national park and the team did their best to show us all the animals, including lions :) Cars were very comfortable and safe with drinks and snacks (our premium option). We had Tomasz, the photographer, who took hundreds of great pictures from our trip, so it's a great addition to the experience of the safari. Organization, flights and engagement during the whole day were absolutely amazing. I strongly recommend Safari Gateway and Tomasz from "Podroz za million zdjec" for a safari trip to Mikumi (they also do Serengeti and Salous trips).

Day full of emotions - Exceptional day. Élise and Riqui were adorable, they explained the savannah to us and showed us beautiful animals and landscapes. Good humor, cupcakes and smiles. All the drivers work together to find out where to find the animals.
