    The best safari ever! 5*****

    We had the most incredible safari experience and cannot recommend it more highly if you find yourself in Tanzania. Staying in Zanzibar, Ocean Blue organised every aspect from collecting us from our hotel to the flights, transfers, food and safari day. Our tour guide was incredible, so warm, welcoming and knowledgable and allowed us to have the most up close and sensational experiences with the animals. A once in a lifetime experience that we cannot recommend more highly! 5****

    Unforgettable experience

    We had an amazing experience with Ocean Blue! We booked four different tours: a snorkeling tour, quad tour, dolphin tour, and safari. Everything was very well organized, and we always felt that everything was taken care of from start to finish. The pickup times were on point, and each tour exceeded our expectations in its own way. The guides were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the experiences both fun and safe. We can honestly say that every tour was worth it, and Ocean Blue played a big role in making our holiday unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Zanzibar and wanting high-quality experiences.

    The Best Day Ever

    We booked a last minute one day safari, and if I’m perfectly honest I was worried a day wouldn’t be enough. But it absolutely was. We saw lions - we were so close we could have reached out and pet them (but obviously we didn’t), and elephants and wild beasts and warthogs and giraffes and zebras and so much more … and we saw all of that before lunch time. I cannot recommend this enough - truly an incredible experience and amazingly we were back at the hotel by 6pm.

    Amazing experience!

    This trip was so unique! Loved it since the beginning and the plane experience? It was amazing! We were so lucky to see baby lions with mom and lots of other animals (elephants, giraffes, monkeys) we had a great lunch and everything was perfect. Thank you!!

    From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.

    How much does From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $525 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 From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch?

    +

    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 From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch 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.

    What is included in From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch?

    +

    Included: All government taxes and charges; Raincoats in case of showers; Park entry and landing fees; A wild safari story to take back home; and Guaranteed individual seat with clear views. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Tips for the guide and driver (optional); and Travel insurance (recommended but not provided). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 787 listed pickup locations in and around Zanzibar City. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Polish and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to From Zanzibar: Mikumi 1-Day Safari with Scenic Flight & Lunch if the weather is bad?
