1 Day Luxury Family Safari by Air to Mikumi from Zanzibar

05:30–09:00  Hotel Pickup, Airport Transfer and Flight to Mikumi

Your family’s adventure begins with pickup from your Zanzibar hotel and a transfer to the airport. The collection time will be confirmed according to your accommodation and flight schedule. After check-in, board your light aircraft for the journey to Mikumi, where your safari guide will meet you at the airstrip. Before setting off, discuss the day’s programme and any family needs, including suitable breaks and how to stay comfortable during the drive.

09:00–12:30  Family Game Drive on the Mkata Floodplain

Explore the Mkata Floodplain at a pace that gives your family time to enjoy each worthwhile sighting. Your guide will explain animal behaviour in accessible language, encouraging children to ask questions and look carefully at their surroundings. There is time to take photographs, compare observations and appreciate the landscape between encounters. The route follows wildlife activity and park conditions, making each family’s experience different.

12:30–13:15  Picnic Lunch and Time to Rest

Stop at a designated picnic area for your packed lunch and a break from the vehicle. Share the morning’s favourite moments and give younger travellers time to rest before continuing. Dietary requirements should be communicated before departure so suitable arrangements can be confirmed. Your guide will also review the remaining time and plan the afternoon around your return flight.

13:15–15:30  Further Wildlife Viewing and Airstrip Transfer

Continue your game drive with opportunities to discover more of Mikumi and spend time at interesting sightings. Your guide will balance further exploration with your family’s comfort and the flight check-in deadline. As departure approaches, follow a route towards the airstrip, stopping where time permits. The afternoon brings together the day’s discoveries before your flight back to the island.

15:30–18:00  Fly to Zanzibar and Transfer to Your Hotel

Board your return flight to Zanzibar, then meet your driver for the transfer to your hotel. Your family returns with photographs and memories of a mainland safari, ready to continue your beach holiday.
