What makes Mikumi National Park special?
Mikumi is often called "Mini Serengeti" due to its abundant wildlife including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and over 400 bird species. It's famous for lions that climb trees and is less crowded than northern parks. It's also easily accessible from Dar es Salaam.

We recommend at least 8-10 days for a combined Mikumi and Zanzibar package - 4 days for safari and 4-6 days for beach relaxation. This gives you enough time to fully experience both destinations.
Is Mikumi good for a budget safari?
Yes! Mikumi offers excellent value for money compared to northern parks. It's more affordable while still providing amazing wildlife viewing opportunities, making it perfect for budget-conscious travelers. Our Mikumi Express package starts from just $490 per person.
What is the best time to visit Zanzibar?
Zanzibar is beautiful year-round, but the best time is during the dry seasons: June-October and December-February. These months offer sunny weather, calm seas, and perfect beach conditions.
