Mikumi receives far fewer visitors than the Serengeti or Ngorongoro, and its open floodplains produce some of the most straightforward, undisturbed wildlife encounters in Tanzania. It is also the most accessible southern Tanzania park from Zanzibar by air.
Return light aircraft flights between Zanzibar and Mikumi, all transfers, 2 nights accommodation on full board, all park fees, and a private vehicle with English-speaking driver-guide.
