1.From Zanzibar: Mikumi Safari Day Trip with Flights and Meal

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,470 reviews · from $451Our pick

You’ll fly from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park, join a shared game drive, and stop for a generous bush lunch before flying home. Guides such as Salim, Amos, Elias, and Asenga are praised for spotting animals and explaining the park. Expect an early start, a long day, and possible lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffalo, and crocodiles.

“We had an amazing experience on our safari trip to Mikumi! The transfer and flight were good and all on time. Our safari guide was knowledgeable and friendly and gave plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the wildlife or take photos. There was water available throughout and the bush lunch was lovely! A tip for the ladies - take some tissues with you for the toilet stops, some of the cubicles didn’t have any tissue left! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for anything more - We saw nearly all of the animals you could hope for, which was great luck!”
