Just superb! - Itā€™s really a great moment! The flight in a small plane is already setting the tone! Flight over Zanzibar, ocean and Tanzania We land directly on a runway in the middle of the savannah. Immediate support by David, our professional and friendly guide-driver, in an open Jeep We come across many animals, calm and majestic, often very close. An unforgettable day, timeless, to experience once!

A fabulous day safari! - We had an incredible time on this day safari and Captain J was a fabulous guide! We were picked up from our hotel in Matemwe and got to the airport at about 5:30. There were 10 of us in the plane and the flight took about an hour. Once in the park, we saw lions, zebras, girafes, wildebeests, wart hogs, impala, baboons, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, a python, and many birds. Lunch was served outside at the restaurant and was very good. We left the park at around 14:30 and got back to Zanzibar around 15:45.

Incredible - I did the safari on august, it lasted 1 day and it was incredible. photos are not as good as your eyes are, so seeing animals in front of me, sometimes 2 meter between them and you, is something out of this world. Guides will try their best to satisfy you and the organisation is perfect. If you can, the safari is a must-do thing. surely !!

Mikumi National Park is really worth a visit! - Our day trip to Mikumi National Park was an excellent experience! The trip included the transfer from our hotel to the airport at Zanzibar, the flight in a small airplane to the National Park and lunch, which was a big plus. The Safari Tour was great, we saw lions, buffalos, multiple families of elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, baboons, warthogs and a lot of other animals. Our ranger Roger was really nice and able to explain a lot about the animals and trees in the area. If you go to Zanzibar or Tansania we highly recommend this tour! Don't forget to bring a good camera and binoculars.

Do not miss ! - Up very very early...We are picked up at the hotel for a transfer to Stone Town airport. Small plane which drops us off directly on the dirt runway of Mikumi National Park at 8am. The jeep is waiting for us next to the plane for an instant departure. AMAZING ! We were able to see all the animals, elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, wildebeest, impalas, lions, warthogs, baboons, eagles, buffaloes. The jeeps are not stuck in single file, but isolated in search of animals. The guides communicate with each other to give the situation of the animals and sometimes, for the lions for example, we still found ourselves with several jeeps on the spot. Water, fruit juices and cakes are available in a cooler. Quite decent lunch in a lodge within the park surrounded by pilfering baboons. I'm not giving it 5 stars because the guide was really stingy with explanations.
