mikumi & nyerere/selous safaris

Mikumi & Nyerere National Park Safaris Experience Tanzania's southern safari parks from Zanzibar.

Mikumi National Park Safari

Mikumi National Park is a great choice for travellers looking to experience an exciting Tanzania safari from Zanzibar. With its wildlife-rich landscapes and convenient access from the island, Mikumi can be included in a shorter safari itinerary while still providing the opportunity to experience Tanzania’s incredible wildlife.

A Mikumi safari offers the chance to explore the park on guided game drives and see some of Africa’s most iconic animals in their natural environment. Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, zebras and other wildlife as you travel through the park.

For travellers coming from Zanzibar, we can arrange a complete safari experience including your transfers, flights or other transport arrangements, accommodation, park fees, meals and professional guiding. This allows you to enjoy your safari without having to organise the individual parts of your journey yourself.

Mikumi can be particularly appealing if you have limited time but still want to add a mainland Tanzania safari to your Zanzibar holiday. A two- or three-day safari can provide an exciting introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife, while longer itineraries can be arranged for travellers who want more time in the park.

Our Mikumi safari experiences can be personalised around your travel dates, group size and preferred accommodation. Whether you are travelling as a couple, family or group of friends, we can help create an itinerary that combines your Zanzibar stay with an unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Leave the beaches of Zanzibar behind for a few days and discover the wild landscapes of mainland Tanzania with a Mikumi safari from Zanzibar.

Nyerere National Park (Selous) Safari

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous, offers a unique Tanzania safari experience combining wildlife, game drives and the waterways of southern Tanzania. For travellers staying in Zanzibar, a Nyerere safari provides an opportunity to experience the mainland without needing to travel to the northern safari circuit.

One of the special features of a Nyerere safari is the opportunity to experience a boat safari alongside traditional game drives. The waterways provide a completely different perspective of the park, with opportunities to see wildlife around the water and experience the landscape from the river.

Game drives allow you to explore the park’s wilderness in search of elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, zebras and other wildlife. A combination of game drives and boat safaris makes Nyerere an appealing choice for travellers who want more than a traditional land-based safari.

We can arrange your Nyerere safari from Zanzibar as a complete package, including transfers, flights, accommodation, park fees, meals and professional guiding. Your itinerary can be tailored to suit your travel dates, group size and preferred level of accommodation.

A two- or three-day safari can provide a wonderful introduction to Nyerere National Park, while a longer stay allows more time to enjoy game drives, boat safaris and the surrounding wilderness.

Nyerere is an excellent option for travellers who want to combine their Zanzibar holiday with a Tanzania safari. Instead of choosing between relaxing on the beach and experiencing African wildlife, you can enjoy both in one memorable trip.

From the wildlife on land to the waterways and boat safari experience, Nyerere offers a distinctive southern Tanzania adventure.
