Tour Overview for This Tanzania Luxury Safari

The 2-Day Mikumi Luxury Safari from Zanzibar offers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort for travelers seeking a quick yet unforgettable wildlife experience. Departing from Zanzibar, this exclusive safari takes you to Mikumi National Park, one of Tanzania’s most accessible and wildlife-rich reserves. Ideal for couples, families, or small groups, this luxury safari includes premium accommodations, private transfers, and expertly guided game drives across the park’s stunning savannah plains.
If you’re short on time but still want to enjoy an authentic Tanzanian safari, Mikumi is the best option — only a short flight away from Zanzibar.

Highlights
Short flight from Zanzibar to Mikumi (approx. 1 hour)
Game drives across the Mkata floodplain, home to elephants, lions, giraffes & buffaloes
Overnight stay in a luxury safari lodge or tented camp with top-tier amenities
All-inclusive meals and professional safari guide
Spectacular sunrise and sunset game drives
Private 4×4 safari vehicle with open roof for photography

Best Time to Visit Mikumi National Park
Mikumi can be visited year-round, but the dry season (June to October) is the best time for wildlife viewing. During this period, animals gather near waterholes, making sightings easier. The green season (November to March) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds — ideal for photographers.

How to Get from Zanzibar to Mikumi
The most convenient option is a direct flight from Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) to Mikumi Airstrip, operated by domestic airlines such as Coastal Aviation or Auric Air. The flight takes about 1 hour each way. Private charter options are also available for luxury travelers seeking exclusivity.

Why Choose a Mikumi Safari from Zanzibar?
Unlike longer safaris in Serengeti or Ngorongoro, the Mikumi luxury safari is ideal for travelers with limited time. It’s affordable, easily accessible, and provides a genuine safari experience within 2 days. You can enjoy the beach life in Zanzibar and still witness Africa’s iconic wildlife — all within a weekend.

Safari Tips
Pack light — flights have luggage limits (usually 15kg per person).
Bring neutral-colored clothes, sunscreen, and a hat.
Carry binoculars and a camera for wildlife photography.
Book early during peak season (June–October and December–February).
