A 2-day Mikumi safari from Zanzibar offers the perfect short wildlife adventure, combining the convenience of direct flights with the thrill of a classic Tanzanian safari. Your journey begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park, one of the most accessible parks in Southern Tanzania. Upon arrival, enjoy thrilling game drives across the famous Mkata Floodplain, often referred to as a “mini Serengeti,” where you can spot elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and abundant birdlife.

After a full day of wildlife viewing, you will stay overnight in a comfortable lodge or tented camp inside or near the park, with meals included. On the second day, enjoy an early morning game drive to catch predators and grazers in action before flying back to Zanzibar in the afternoon. This package typically includes hotel pick-up and drop-off in Zanzibar, domestic flights, park fees, professional driver-guide services, meals, and accommodation.

Best Time to Visit

The best time for a Tanzania safari is during the dry season (late June to October), ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources, and the Great Migration features dramatic river crossings in the Serengeti (July-August). The short dry season (January-February) offers clear skies and fewer crowds, perfect for photography. The green season (March-May) brings lush landscapes and lower rates, though light rains may occur. For the Ngorongoro Crater, year-round access ensures excellent wildlife sightings, with February being prime for wildebeest calving in the Serengeti.
