Mikumi Day Trip Safari From Zanzibar

It’s a full-day adventure! You’ll start early in the morning (around 04:30–6:00 AM) and return in the evening (around 4:00–5:30 PM).

Expect about 12–13 hours door to door, with 6–7 hours of thrilling game drives in the heart of the savannah.

Yes, it’s a long day — but totally worth it!

Yes! Mikumi is full of wildlife – lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, and more.

Yes, it’s very safe.

The vehicles are specially designed for safaris with open tops but strong frames.

You’ll never leave the vehicle during the drive, except at safe picnic spots.

Your guides are trained in safety, and there’s always communication with the park rangers.

Pack light but smart:

• Passport (you’ll need it for the flight)
• Hat & sunglasses (the sun gets real)
• Camera or phone
• Light jacket for early morning or flight
• Comfortable shoe
• Some cash for souvenirs or tips

We offer both! Want a private experience with just your group? You got it. Prefer to join a small group and make new friends? That’s also available. Just tell us your preference when booking.

Mikumi is amazing year-round, but if you want clear skies and the best wildlife spotting, aim for the dry season:

June to October – animals gather around waterholes, making them easier to spot.

November to March is also great, with lush green landscapes and active wildlife — just expect a quick tropical shower now and then.

But!

No matter when you go, it’s always an adventure!
