Daniel
My first safari. Well organised, safe with a little of adrenaline, perfect guides and driver. We saw a lot of animals from close encounters, including lions, giraffes, buffalos, elephants, even leopard. Time and money well spent. Price between 350 - 500 USD from Zanzibar, depending on provider. Lifetime memories.

Visited Mikumi National Park today and it was an unforgettable experience! The wildlife, the landscapes, and the peaceful atmosphere made it one of the best safari days I’ve ever had. Everything was well-organized, and the park is perfect for anyone who wants to see animals up close in their natural environment. Highly recommended for nature and adventure lovers!
Iga
Beautiful park with plenty of animals. We’ve really enjoyed the scenery and green trees as well. It’s chill with not so many visitors so we could enjoy the silence most of the time and met just a few cars outside of the lodges

We took a short flight ✈️ from Zanzibar (ZNZ) to Mikumi National Park, which was about an hour — super convenient for a day trip! The flight itself was scenic, flying over the turquoise Indian Ocean 🌊 and into the golden plains of Tanzania. Upon landing at the small airstrip inside the park 🛬, our private safari guide greeted us with a warm smile and a sturdy 4x4 ready to explore. 🍳 Breakfast stop: We started with a nice breakfast near the park entrance, surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds 🐦 — a peaceful way to begin the day before the adventure started. 🚙 The Safari Experience: Mikumi National Park is often called the “Little Serengeti” because of its open grasslands and abundance of wildlife. It’s the fourth largest park in Tanzania, covering about 3,230 square kilometers, and is home to elephants 🐘, lions 🦁, giraffes 🦒, zebras 🦓, hippos 🦛, and countless antelopes. We were lucky enough to see elephants grazing with their calves and herds of zebras crossing the dirt roads — absolutely magical moments 😍. Our guide prepared a delicious picnic-style lunch inside the park, which felt surreal eating with giraffes visible in the distance. ⚠️ The Downside: One issue we noticed was the lack of proper communication between safari drivers and rangers regarding animal sightings. There’s no shared system or updates about where animals have been spotted, so a lot of time is wasted driving in circles 🚗💨 trying to find them. It’s a bit frustrating when you’re on a short one-day safari and want to make the most of your time. 🌅 Final Thoughts: Overall, Mikumi is a stunning and peaceful park, ideal for those who want a real safari experience without the heavy crowds of Serengeti or Ngorongoro. The park’s proximity to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar makes it a great choice for a quick wildlife getaway 🐾. ✅ Highlights: Short and scenic flight from Zanzibar Private safari with breakfast & lunch included Great variety of animals and beautiful scenery ❌ Cons: Poor communication about animal locations leading to time wasted ⭐️ Rating: 4/5 A truly memorable safari day filled with wildlife, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes — just wish they improved coordination between guides!
