Everything was organized perfectly, from the hotel pickup, even though it was not in an area where they usually do pickups on the return. During the short flight, we were offered drinks and snacks, and the safari jeep was comfortable and safe, with a very knowledgeable guide and excellent driver both on the trails and in the savanna. Generous buffet lunch but of high quality. Kindness and friendliness typical of the place..... the only downside..... we were unable to spot the lions, but the rest was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended

We hope you'll have another opportunity to visit and perhaps spot the kings of the savannah next time. Thank you again for your recommendation.

Thank you, for your positive reviews, we wish to see you again and I hope you will request again our services
Amazing Safari Experience Our trip to Mikumi on a day safari was truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The experience was great value for money, and the tour itself was well worth it. We were fortunate to see many animals, including the elusive cheetah, which is rare to spot in Mikumi. Our safari organizer, Mohamed, was exceptionally responsive and ensured that our experience would be unforgettable—and it certainly was! I highly recommend him and his team for an amazing safari experience.
This 1 day safari trip from Zanzibar to Mikumi NP has been a dream come through for my wife and I. Mohamed is a more then excellent organiser and host. He is a very good communicator and is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his beloved Zanzibar and the Safari experience. Every step of the way from hotel pickup, airport drop off including handling the tickets to arrival in Mikumi and guidance to the correct vehicle was organised to perfecto. Our allocated guide Said and driver Ricardo were also outstanding as they both continued the high level of hospitality as soon as we touched down in Mikumi. Once our vehicle departed we immediately were surrounded by lots of impalas, a few warthogs and 2 medium sized elephants. During the let’s say 7 hr safari trip we did not get disappointed as we basically saw every animal you can think of. Highlights were the 3 lionesses with their 8 cubs from about 20-25 NTR’s distance, a few warthog families with various sized young piglets and to top it of just before finishing up we were lucky enough to see mum, dad and a young baby elephant from very close by. Heaps of Giraffes, Zebra’s, buffaloes, crocodiles and hippos made our experience more than complete. The leopard played the hide and seek game a little to well the day we visited, so looking at the fact that the rhinoceros doesn’t reside in Mikumi, we did see 3 out of 5 of the Big5🙂 The journey back to Zanzibar was just as comfortable and well organised as the way up including taxi pickup at airport and drop off back to our hotel in Kendwa. We highly recommend booking with Mohamed and his crew as they truly delivered a day we will remember for the rest of our lives
Wonderful experience My wife and I booked day trip safari to mikumi with Edo criss we meet him on Instagram he gave us fair price for safari, the trip was wonderful no complain everything was well organized, our safari driver was nice and he knows everything, he showed us different animals and explain to us.

Our day trip safari from zanzibar was incredible, our day trip safari booked on viator by our agent but from beginning of trip up to the the end was fantastic, our driver Mohamed was calm and cool, he warmly greeting us and drive us to airport waiting us up we check in, In Mikumi we meet Alex, he was our professional driver guide he knows so much about the nature and wildlife he explain to us everything. We saw elephants, giraffe, wildebeest, hyena, buffalo, warthog, zebras antilope and lions, our trip was well organized and it truly was a trip of a lifetime. I have no worries with them everything goes smooth and highly recommend

A fascinating excursion. Essential. Elephants, wildebeests, antelopes, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles....and the most incredible thing is to see a lion/lioness couple just centimeters away in a romantic love encounter. With a super professional and attentive guide of us and to find all the animals possible. Many thanks to Mohamed for perfectly organizing this UNFORGETTABLE excursion.
