Frequently Asked Questions

Mikumi National Park is one of Tanzania's largest and most accessible national parks, located on the mainland. It's known for its open savannahs and incredible wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, hippos, and many more species. It's often compared to the Serengeti for its stunning landscapes.
We fly you directly from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park and back. The flight takes approximately 40 minutes each way, so you can enjoy a full safari experience without needing an overnight stay on the mainland.
This is an early start - hotel pick-up is at around 4:30 AM depending on the area so we can get you to the airport in time for the morning flight at 7am. You'll be back at your hotel by approximately 6:30 PM, in time for dinner. Please note that these times might change slightly on some days.
Mikumi is home to a wide range of wildlife including elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, hippos, wildebeest, buffalo, and many bird species. While sightings can never be guaranteed with wild animals, the open savannah landscape makes it one of the best parks for spotting game.
