About Us

Mikumi is a year-round destination, but the dry season (June–October) offers the best wildlife viewing. Animals concentrate around water sources, vegetation is clear, and game drives are easiest. However, the green season (Jan–May) offers lush scenery and newborn animals, while the short rains (Nov–Dec) bring exceptional birdwatching.

The domestic flight from Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) to Mikumi Airstrip takes approximately 45 minutes. You'll fly over the Tanzanian coast and mainland in a small charter aircraft, which is itself a beautiful experience with aerial views of the landscape.

Mikumi offers outstanding Big Five viewing — lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino (occasional). You'll also typically see zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, wildebeest, cheetah, hyena, baboon, and over 400 bird species. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed in the wild, but Mikumi has very high success rates year-round.

Absolutely! Our fly-in 1-day safari gives you approximately 8–9 hours in the park with both morning and afternoon game drives — the peak activity times. Most guests see more animals in a day at Mikumi than in multiple days at more crowded parks. It's a genuine, outstanding safari experience in a single day.

We recommend: neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, green, brown — no bright colours), a light jacket for early mornings, sunscreen and insect repellent, a hat, sunglasses, your camera, and a small daypack. We provide water throughout the day. For overnight safaris, casual clothing for evenings is sufficient — no formal wear needed.
