2-Day Fly-in Zanzibar to Mikumi Safari

🗓 2 Days 🏨 Lodge 🚙 Private 4x4 Safari Vehicle (fly-in)
Trip Overview

Your Tanzania safari at a glance

Mikumi is one of Tanzania's most overlooked parks, closer to the coast than the northern circuit and correspondingly quieter — open floodplain scenery that's earned it the nickname "mini Serengeti," with elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra all reliably seen. This short fly-in from Zanzibar is the easiest way to add it to a beach trip.
