Overview
Mikumi is one of Tanzania’s most overlooked parks, closer to the coast than the northern circuit and correspondingly quieter โ open floodplain scenery that’s earned it the nickname “mini Serengeti,” with elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra all reliably seen. This short fly-in from Zanzibar is the easiest way to add it to a beach trip.
Trip Highlights
- Private driver-guide and flexible pacing
- Wildlife, landscapes and local encounters
