Mikumi National Park, on the Tanzanian mainland, is home to open plains reminiscent of the Serengeti, with elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, and buffalo all commonly seen. Its proximity to a small airstrip makes it the most practical mainland safari to combine with a Zanzibar beach holiday — no overnight stay required.
Early morning: light aircraft transfer from Zanzibar to Mikumi's airstrip. Morning: game drive through Mikumi's open plains, the best time of day for wildlife activity. Midday: bush lunch within the park. Afternoon: a second game drive before your return flight to Zanzibar in the late afternoon or early evening.
