Today's Experience
The journey will start from the hotel where you will be picked up by our professional driver (This if you will arrange transfer by us). You will be transferred to Zanzibar Airport for the flight (07AM) to Mikumi National Park. You'll go on a full-day game drive and experience wonderful animals, including lion, eland and buffalo. In a nutshell, the Mikumi floodplain is the main feature of the park, bordering the mountain ranges. In the afternoon, you will get a hot lunch and some time to rest.
