A 2 Days Fly-In Mikumi Safari offers a fast and rewarding way to experience one of Tanzania’s most accessible yet wildlife-rich national parks.

This short fly-in safari in Tanzania is ideal for visitors with limited time who still want an authentic safari experience in a scenic and uncrowded setting.
Mikumi National Park is well known for its abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, and hippos, often seen against the backdrop of the Uluguru Mountains. Our carefully designed fly-in safari itineraries focus on prime game-viewing areas and comfortable lodges, making this an excellent choice for a luxury 2 days fly-in safari to Mikumi, a Zanzibar safari add-on, or a short Tanzania safari without long transfers.
Your 2-Day Fly-In Mikumi National Park Safari begins with a scheduled morning flight from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National Park, one of Tanzania’s most accessible and wildlife-rich parks. The short scenic flight offers aerial views of the Tanzanian countryside before landing at the Mikumi airstrip, located close to prime game-viewing areas.
Upon arrival, you will be met by your professional safari guide and transferred to your lodge or tented camp. After lunch and a brief rest, head out for an afternoon game drive across Mikumi’s wide-open savannahs, often compared to the Serengeti plains.
Mikumi National Park is home to lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and abundant birdlife, with excellent wildlife visibility year-round. The park’s open landscapes allow for rewarding game viewing in a short time, making it ideal for a short Tanzania fly-in safari. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive when wildlife is most active. Explore different sections of the park, including the Mkata floodplain, where large herds of grazers attract predators and offer excellent photographic opportunities.
Your guide will help track wildlife and share insights into the park’s ecosystem, making this final game drive a memorable highlight of your 2 days fly-in safari to Mikumi National Park. After returning to the lodge for lunch, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your afternoon flight back to Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam, concluding your memorable safari adventure with Africa’s iconic wildlife safari experience.
