Day Trip Safari: Zanzibar → Mikumi National Park

If you’re seeking an efficient but rewarding safari experience, this one-day fly-in package from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park covers all bases. Depart early on a scheduled morning flight directly from Zanzibar and land straight in Tanzania’s fourth-largest wildlife reserve, often referred to as a “mini Serengeti” because of its sweeping plains and rich animal life. You can expect to encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, lions, and a notable variety of bird species. With a comprehensive day of guided game drives, along with a bush or lodge lunch, this program delivers a classic safari in just one day. Accommodation isn’t included, since it’s designed as a day trip, but stays at lodges or tented camps can always be arranged for travelers interested in an extended experience.

Daigle Tours, a family-owned company since 2010, specialises in customizable safaris across Tanzania’s Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Circuits.

With experienced guides, top-tier vehicles, and personalised service, we ensure a memorable safari.
Daigle Tours is the first choice for the Southern Circuit because:
- We’re based here – Our head office is in Dar es Salaam so we can easily access the best parks in the region, and we know them inside out.
- Exclusive Safari Lodge in Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous) – We own and operate a lodge on the border of Nyerere National Park, so you can enjoy the whole Daigle Tours experience when you stay with us there.
- True Experts – We can’t think of any other safari companies of our size who share our vast knowledge of the region. We can’t wait to show you around our homeland.

Why Choose Southern Tanzania?
Why Southern Tanzania?
Southern Tanzania is Tanzania’s best-kept secret, offering unrivaled wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and authentic cultural encounters with fewer visitors. Explore Nyerere National Park’s vast wilderness, cruise the rivers of Selous Game Reserve, and connect with local communities—all with the expertise of Daigle Tours, your local safari specialists.
Why Southern Tanzania Stands Out:
Why Zanzibar & the Tanzanian Islands?
After the dust and drama of safari, sink your toes into Indian Ocean heaven. From historic Stone Town in Zanzibar to the whale-shark waters of Mafia and the private-island bliss of the archipelago, Daigle Tours delivers your perfect tropical finale.
