05:30–09:00 Zanzibar Transfer and Fly-In Journey
Leave your Zanzibar hotel at the confirmed pickup time and travel to the airport. Carry your safari essentials within the airline’s baggage requirements. Board your light aircraft and travel to Mikumi, where your guide welcomes you at the airstrip. The briefing explains the viewing route and how the day fits between your arrival and departure flights.
09:00–12:30 Guided Morning Safari
Set off towards the Mkata Floodplain, following your guide’s chosen game-viewing tracks. Stop where wildlife activity offers worthwhile observation and photography opportunities. Your guide explains the encounters and the surrounding landscape as you travel. The experience follows what is happening in the park that day, with no guaranteed species list.
12:30–13:15 Picnic Lunch in a Designated Area
Take a break for your packed lunch at an approved picnic spot. Rest, review your photographs and ask questions before continuing the drive. Lunch timing may shift slightly according to the route and flight programme. Food preferences should be provided before travel so suitable arrangements can be confirmed.
13:15–15:30 Final Wildlife Viewing and Fly-Out Check-In
Spend the remaining safari time exploring along a practical route towards the airstrip. Your guide allows viewing stops where possible while keeping track of the departure deadline. Arrive for check-in and prepare to board your aircraft. An earlier confirmed flight will require the afternoon programme to finish sooner.
15:30–18:00 Return Flight and Zanzibar Hotel Transfer
Fly out of Mikumi and return to Zanzibar. Meet your driver and continue to your hotel after a day of wildlife discovery in Tanzania’s Southern Circuit.
