Itinerary
Mikumi National Park lies alongside the Northern border of Africa's biggest Game Reserve - the SELOUS – forming a unique ecosystem. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the fashionable centrepiece of Mikumi, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. Some spotted lions survey their grassy kingdom, and the Zebra, Giraffes, Elephants, Wildebeest, Impala, and Buffalo herds migrate across the park. This tour starts from Zanzibar airport at 07h00 and arrives at Mikumi Airstrip at 08h00, received by our safari guide. Directly you will start a safari game drive touring the game-rich area of Mkata plains. The plain is very famous for its concentrations of wildlife. Also, visiting the famous Hippo pool whereby many come to drink water. Hot lunch during lunchtime then proceeds with your journey exploring the African bushes before returning to the airstrip at around 15h30 for your flight back to Zanzibar.

From their first representatives meeting at the airport, to the welcoming crew at the airstrip. The whole experience was so well managed. A brilliant driver and guide were with us from the start of the safari to the very end. Offering us the customer a safari to remember. Always remember this though, there's no real guarantee that you'll see everything that you might wish or want to see, but we saw it all. Thank you guys.....
Amazing tour and luckily got to see plenty of animals mainly thanks to our driver and tour guide Felix who could spot a needle in a haystack he was amazing at getting as close as we could and was really knowledgeable, the food on the tour was good
If you ever have the chance to do that, do it! Seems crowded forst, but isn't. It's a 3000qm² park and each professionals are taking different roads which makes it unique- but stay in close contact if someone sees an animal. If you have the chance, go with "Fidelis"! Experienced, calm, professional guy who knows and cherishes the animals by heart.
Guid kassim was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide today. Even helped us to look for leopard!
Daytour Mikumi Safari. We had Mozes as guide and Frederique as an excellent driver. It was a beautiful day and we had the luck to see all of the animals. Mozes was well educated about the nature, but fortunately not boring. We laughed a lot. Conclusion, It’s certainly worth the effort.
Thanks to Fidelis for the visite, it’s amazing!!! Fidelis is the best!!!
What a fantastic day. Very early start (4.30am) . Transferred to the airport and then to Mikumi national park. There was three of us and another couple on our jeep, plenty of room and a cool box full of soft drinks and water. All the jeeps (approx 20) went off in different directions. Saw all animals including lions close up. For us it was the perfect length of time. The guide and the driver were exceptional. The lunch, which can be very hit and miss in this sort of experience was surprisingly nice. Tip. The plane is extremely hot so take a fan with you and don't forget your passports.
It was an amazing experience. Nixon was our driver and he was spectacular. So friendly and welcoming. He knew exactly where all the animals were
Nixon was our driver for the day and we couldn't have been happier. He was thoughtful, knew exactly where to go, and shared so much interesting information along the way. His driving was smooth and steady, so we could simply sit back and enjoy the views. The car was clean and comfortable, which made the longer stretches a real pleasure. When our flight was delayed, he took us on an extra round so we wouldn't have to wait at the airport.That kind of care made the whole day special. If Nixon ends up being your driver, you're in great hands. Highly recommended!
Amazing Trip. We saw a Lot of animals. Nixon was the best Guide. Had the best time.
Excellent day, 7 hrs psssed very quick, with our guide Fidelis. lunch was included, we saw many different wild life and was happy to see the king of the jungle lions family all in one place. I think it was a lucky day. Along with elephants and wildebeest to name a few, close up of girrafes a d hippos.
Our tour guide Nixon made the trip u forgettable. He spoke excellent English was friendly and took us to all the right places to see the amazing animals. Thank you
Amazing trip, saw so many animals and our guide Nikson made the experience even better. Really recommend going!
Amazing day with Kassim who guided us with a lot of passion and knowledge.
We had an unforgettable day and saw so many animals over just a few hours. It was truly surreal and an experience we’ll remember forever. The process was seamless and our driver Felix was the best we could ask for; so knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole day. Could not recommend the trip enough and thank you for an amazing day!
Amazing safari experience ! We got to see almost all animals and we had the chance to get very close to them, ou guides Fidelis and Adam know how to get the jobe done ! They were so friendly and answered all if our silly questions 🤗
It was perfect! Our driver Fidelis and guide Adam were simply fantastic, going off-road many times to spot animals and explaining much about them. We will never forget this wonderful experience and would like to thank them again for their great efforts.
An unforgettable safari with Safari Gateway! Everything was organized to the highest standard, and the trip to Mikumi National Park exceeded our wildest expectations. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Nikson. He is an absolute professional and enthusiast – he knows Mikumi like the back of his hand! His knowledge of the animals, their behavior, and the local nature is simply incredible. On top of that, he is an excellent driver, making us feel 100% safe and comfortable at all times. Nikson knew exactly where to go, allowing us to see plenty of wonderful wildlife up close. I highly recommend Safari Gateway to anyone dreaming of a genuine African safari. With a team like this, it is an absolute pleasure!
Amazing experience, the guide (nikson i think) was super friendly and explained everything really understandable, the safari tour is like visting a whole new world, and the people in the park are making it even more magical, loved it so much already planing my next safari trip
Perfectly organized, private driver, unique experience, super national park where you see a lot of different animals, just 2 or 3 meters away.
Paschal was an incredible guide!! We saw SO many animals!! He took extra care in not bothering the animals but getting us as close as possible and giving us plenty of time to view. He truly cares for his customers AND the animals. His personality and vast knowledge kept everyone informed and entertained. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable and the lunch was very good. We are well traveled and are sometimes hard to please but this experience was top notch start to finish!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Fidelis in Mikumi National Park! He truly made our trip unforgettable. Fidelis went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. His experience and incredible knowledge of the park were obvious from the very beginning — he knew exactly where to go and was constantly looking for the best wildlife sightings. What made him especially wonderful was how much he cared about our experience. He always made sure we had the best possible position for photos, patiently waited when we wanted to take pictures, and did everything he could to make every moment special. Fidelis is professional, knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We felt incredibly lucky to have him as our guide. He didn’t just take us on a safari — he made the safari! We cannot recommend Fidelis highly enough. If you are visiting Mikumi and have the chance to have him as your guide, you are in the best hands. Thank you, Fidelis, for an unforgettable experience! ❤️🐘🦒🦁
Wonderful safari tour from the beginning: Pick up at hotel, flights, tour itself and bring back home…I really would like to thank our excellent German speaking guy named Innocent. Thanks for this wonderful, amazing experience.
This was an amazing safari day trip in Mikumi. We saw lion families and a lot of different animals. We came close to the leopard in a tree as well. Our guide Fidelis is expirienced and was the perfect one for us.
The experience from start to finish was amazing, we saw everything we wanted to, lunch was lovely and amusing with free roaming monkeys. We were well looked after, we even had baby elephants join us at lunch briefly. Our guide was felix and he was the best! We were surprised with a cake and African songs from all the staff on safari, all guides joined in to celebrate my partners 50th birthday- we had no idea this was going to happen and it was incredible. Amazing team!
We had an unforgettable safari in Mikumi, and a huge part of that was because of our guide, Felix. From the very beginning, it was clear how passionate he is about his job. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer every single question we had with confidence and enthusiasm. You could tell that he truly loves wildlife and enjoys sharing everything he knows. Felix told us that becoming a guide in the national park had been his dream since he was a little boy, and honestly, you can feel that in everything he does. His passion, dedication, and genuine excitement made this experience so special. We honestly felt like we couldn’t have had a better guide. Thank you, Felix, for making our safari an experience we’ll never forget. We would recommend you to anyone visiting Mikumi without hesitation! David & Elisa
Our safari experience was absolutely unforgettable! Every moment was breathtaking, and we enjoyed every second of it. A huge thank you to our guide, Pascal Raphael, who truly gave his all to make this experience as special as possible. His passion, knowledge, kindness, and dedication made the safari even more incredible. We were able to see amazing wildlife and create memories that will stay with us forever. I will always be grateful for this once in a lifetime experience. Thank you, Pascal, for making our dream safari come true. Highly recommended!!!
My family and I went on a safari in Mikumi National Park, and we were lucky to have Nixon as our guide. The experience was truly unforgettable! Nixon was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, flora, and ecosystem of the park. He explained everything in a clear and engaging way, making the safari both educational and exciting. He was always friendly, professional, attentive, and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to see an amazing variety of animals and enjoy unforgettable moments. It is clear that he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. We highly recommend Nixon to anyone planning a visit to Mikumi National Park. Thank you for making this adventure so special for our entire family!
OH MY GOD! Absolutely amazing! Managed to see 4 of the big 5 animals! Tour guides Fidilous and Emanuel were amazingly knowledgeable and friendly, explained loads and happy to answer anything, saw elephants with babies, giraffe, lion, lioness, hippos, baboons, leopard, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest amongst others. All we can say is just do it! You won't regret it apart from the long day!
Fabulous day out all round, Bono had it all arranged from pickup at the hotel to airport. The safari was excellent and Nixon was the best tour guide who is very knowledgeable and has a knack of spotting wildlife. Fantastic day
Amazing safari, our driver Nixon was so knowledgeable and was so on it with where to go next and was able to get us so close up to the animals, a highlight to our trip would 100% recommend.
Fantastic Safari. Our driver Nixon was so fiendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much and he was able to help us spot so many amazing animals. Thank you so much for a fabulous day!
Amazing safari, our driver Nixon was incredible, and was so knowledgeable about the animals. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Knowledgeable guide Nixon went out of his way to give us a very memorable day showing us all the native animals, highlight being the family of lions.
It was a fantastic experience to see African animals in their natural habitat. We were very lucky to have a very knowledgeable guide Nixon.
Nixon is really good and knowledgeable guy. Highly recommended to go with him
Had an amazing time today with Nixon as our guide. Felt safe the whole day and saw a bunch of beautiful animals 😁 Nixon is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot today, so thank you!
It was an amazing experience. Thank you to Nixon for the interesting trip and explanations.
It was an amazing experience! Nixon was our guide. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a very up close and personal but safe experience with the animals. I would definitely highly recommend this experience!
Wonderful day and wonderful guide thank you to Felix and Nassoro that was perfect.
Amazing experience, guide Nasoro and Felix are very nice, friendly and professional !
Fidelis and Adam were great guides and very helpful and friendly, and tried their best to help us see as many animals as possible. Would 100% recommend going.😁
Experience of a life time! Our tour guide I think his name was Nicolo was amazing he had so much knowledge of all the animals. We were so lucky to see all the animals we wanted other than the Leopards. Our tour guide made sure we got the pictures and experience we wanted before moving on. Picked up from our hotel in Paje, quick flight on a small plane and straight to the safari had lunch included with the 2 game drives. So worth the money!!! 🦓🦒🐒🐘🩷
I had such an amazing experience with Sporah Tours and Safaris during my trip to Tanzania! From the Mikumi Safari to the city tour, everything was well organized, smooth, and truly memorable. The Mikumi tour was the highlight for me — seeing lions up close in their natural habitat was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking 😄. The guide was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we had the best views while still keeping us safe. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ll never forget. The city tour was also lovely. It gave a nice blend of culture, local life, and beautiful spots around the city. I really appreciated how friendly and accommodating the team was throughout the entire trip. Overall, excellent service, great communication, and a very professional team. I highly recommend Sporah Tours and Safaris to anyone visiting Tanzania and looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience! Thank you again for making my trip so special ❤️✨
What a great day. Every aspect of the trip ran like clockwork. Our transfer took and from our hotel was already waiting for us at the hotel at the arraigned time. Mashaka was the driver. Very professional. The safari itself was amazing. Had countless opportunities to see all shapes and sizes of animals. We were even lucky enough to get a glimpse of leopard. Our guide for the day was fidelis. He was also amazing. His knowledge was extensive. He really did look after us. There seemed to be several tour companies operating that day. Our vehicle and guide seemed to be as professional as it gets. Such a memorable adventure. We will never forget it. Thanks so much. Simon and Sharron.😊
We had a wonderful day on our safari tour full of wild animals! Our driver Nixon is a very kind and helpful driver, he tried to show us all the sights and make our day perfect. We got to meet elephants up close, and even the lion family was sunbathing a meter away from us. Thank you very much for this wonderful day, it will be an unforgettable experience!☺️❤️
This safari had great variety of animals, but there is a great propensity for vehicles to get stuck in the mud (happened more than once) and the guides will stop your safari to go help the stuck vehicles for an hour or more- not what I paid for! They need a dedicated service to rescue stuck vehicles; not other vehicles with paying customers! They almost ruined my birthday with this experience. The other safari I took with a different company was less expensive and no long pauses/delays.
Incredible day. They only have the big 4 not 5 and we got to see the 3. Just missing the leopard. Great day all round and great guides Fidelis & Ernest tried their best to get us to see everything! Highly reccommend.
My husband and I spent a week on Zanzibar and decided to take a one day safari. We flew from Zanzibar Airport to Mikumi and were greeted by Nixon, our tour guide. He took us many places in the park /reserve where we saw giraffe, zebras, baboons, monkeys, elephants, wildebeest, warthogs, beautiful birds and lions. We have done a previous safari and had seen 3 of the big 5 and now we can add the 4th. Nixon was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds. He knew where we were more than likely going to find cats and we did! There had been a heavy rain the night before so roads were partially washed out as well as a few bridges. Nixon made it even more exciting with his driving skills as we navigated the roads and bridges. Lunch was part of the tour which was a buffet of chicken, noodles, rice, and a few other selections. Much better than box lunch sandwiches! If you want a change for a day this is a great tour group and safari.
