Mikumi Holiday Safaris

Based in Mikumi

Only Tanzania operator with a physical base at the Mikumi National Park gateway, plus offices in Arusha and Zanzibar — a triangulation that makes them well-positioned for southern-first, northern-first or SGR train-linked itineraries. Ten years operating, 125+ TripAdvisor reviews averaging 4.9/5. Custom-quote turnaround under 24 hours. Distinctive offerings include SGR train-based Mikumi day trips and multi-day safaris from Dar es Salaam (1-day at $300, 2-day at $500, 3-day at $590), plus the joining day trip from Zanzibar to Mikumi at $455 — an unusual pairing that avoids the Zanzibar–northern circuit flight. Also runs the full northern circuit, Ruaha, Nyerere and 9-day migration itineraries.

Where Mikumi Holiday Safaris operates

Mikumi Holiday Safaris runs trips across 5 destinations in Tanzania, covering the Southern Circuit, Southern Highlands, Zanzibar Archipelago, and Southern Tanzania. Each park has its own character — from open savannas and forested escarpments to coastal reefs — and Mikumi Holiday Safaris tailors itineraries around what you most want to see.

  • Mikumi · Southern Circuit — Tanzania's most accessible national park — big five game viewing just 4 hours from Dar es Salaam.
  • Udzungwa Mountains · Southern Highlands — A biodiversity hotspot in Tanzania's southern highlands — waterfalls, endemic primates, and rewarding forest hikes.
  • Zanzibar · Zanzibar Archipelago — Turquoise waters, spice farms, and a UNESCO World Heritage Stone Town — Tanzania's island paradise.
  • Nyerere National Park · Southern Tanzania — Africa's largest national park — wild, remote, and home to boat safaris on the legendary Rufiji River.
  • Ruaha · Southern Circuit — Tanzania's largest national park — remote, wild, and home to Africa's biggest population of wild dogs.

What you can do with Mikumi Holiday Safaris

This operator specialises in wildlife safari, bird watching, photography tours, and beach & island. Trips can be combined into a single multi-stop itinerary or booked as standalone experiences.

  • Wildlife Safari — The classic East African experience — tracking lions, elephants, leopards, and the full Big Five across Tanzania's vast savannas and woodlands.
  • Bird Watching — Tanzania is one of Africa's great birding destinations — over 1,100 recorded species across habitats from soda lakes and Rift Valley wetlands to montane cloud forest and Miombo woodland.
  • Photography Tours — Tanzania's combination of extraordinary wildlife density, dramatic landscapes, and golden dry-season light makes it one of the world's top photography safari destinations.
  • Beach & Island — Tanzania's Indian Ocean coastline and islands deliver some of the finest tropical beach experiences in Africa — turquoise water, white sand, Swahili history, and excellent snorkelling just offshore.

Guide Benson and Japh were funny and charming, with beautiful hotels, delicious food, and perfect organization. It felt like travelling with friends. An elephant got VERY close to the jeep, and Benson kept his nerves and made sure we did the same.

TripAdvisor Reviewer
★★★★★

Benson is such a nice person. He was very helpful to me during the whole trip and accurate on every move. Our tour guide Benson was so keen in locating the animals and we saw them very closely.

TripAdvisor Reviewer
★★★★★

Excellent stay in the Mikumi park safari accompanied by the best of guides — Benson. He is very attentive, available, generous, and knowledgeable. The respect for nature is something Benson breathes through his lungs!
