A 3-day Mikumi safari from Zanzibar offers one of the easiest ways to experience a longer Tanzania safari while staying based on the island. This 3 days safari from Zanzibar begins with a short morning flight to Mikumi National Park, where you will spend three days exploring the park on guided game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle. Mikumi is known for its open savannah plains and diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and a variety of antelope species.
