This 4-days Safari has been designed to take you to Mikumi then Udzungwa, but will offer you more time in the Mikumi to see the wildlife. Mikumi is the 4th Largest National park in Tanzania and it guarantees wildlife sightings. Most people visit Mikumi National Park aiming to spot the ‘Big Five’ (cheetah, lion, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), and they are always not disappointed. Hippo pools provide close access to the mud-loving beasts, and bird-watching along the waterways is particularly rewarding. Udzungwa is the largest and with most biodiversity and a chain of a dozen large forest-swathed mountains that rise majestically from the flat coastal scrub of eastern Tanzania. Known collectively as the Eastern Arc Mountains, this archipelago of isolated massifs has also been dubbed as the African Galapagos for its treasure-trove of endemic plants and animals, most familiarly being the delicate African violet.

Incredible experience - a wonderful union of nature and wildlife.
This 4 day safari was one of the best experiences of my life. In Mikumi National Park, we saw elephants, lions, giraffes and buffaloes from close quarters. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, explaining the behavior of each animal to us. Reaching Sanje Waterfalls by trekking in Udzungwa was a great adventure - the water of the waterfall and the call of the birds on the mountain created a strange feeling. Accommodations were very clean, and the food was excellent.
Response from the operator: We love reading your reviews! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It makes us so happy to know you enjoyed the guide’s insights, the clean accommodations, and the meals. We truly enjoyed having you with us and showing you the beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes. We hope to welcome you back soon for another incredible adventure! Warm regards, The Silver Sky Travel Team

Each activities was suited to our needs, and the food was delicious most of the time. The organization was on point, from hotel pick up in Zanzibar to plane booking to Mikumi (also lodge).

Incredible and perfectly organized experience
Great safari! The 4 days organization by our guide was well done (airport pick-up, meals, accommodation), our guide Francis was always listening to our questions. Many thanks to Francis for these 4 incredible days.

Wonderful trip to Tanzania!
Fantastic trip and great customer service from Paul prior to the trip. Saw numerous animals on safari- lions, cheetahs, crocs, impala, elephants, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, hippos and our guide Francis was thoughtful and kind and made sure we had the best time! Cool and refreshing waterfall hike and informative visit to a Masai village. Safari lodge was basic but clean and tasty food- campfire every night was a special touch. Icing on the cake was a lion who crossed in front of our van as we drove away from the park back to the airport! Highly recommend.

4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.
Is 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 Days Mikumi & Udzungwa National Parks Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?
+
On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
