Day trip to mikumi from zanzibar

Skip the beach life by visiting Mikumi National parks rich in wildlife like buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, Maasai giraffes, hippos, impalas, and crocodiles. There are also, zebras and wart hogs. The good news is; Mikumi wildlife view is not much affected by seasonality, therefore most of the animals can be seen throughout the year,

There are daily flights from (Departs 09:30 am and arrive at 12:00pm) Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park, this is a perfect 3 hours game safari if you just want to experience the wildlife and you’re limited on time travel. The drive from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi takes about 7 hours plus a 3-hour boat Safari from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam.
