Knows everything about the animals, plants and birds and where to see all of the native species! Takes his time to answer all your questions with detailed information. Can’t wait to come back!”

Our guide had a lot of knowledge and the driver was amazing, when we got information that there was a lion, he drove fast so that we could get there in time, and he always managed to get as close as possible so we could see everything perfectly. The accommodation was great and the food was also very good. This trip was so wonderful that I will remember it for a long time.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 3 days · from $760

Review of a 3-day Mikumi safari from Zanzibar, with ferry, train, Maasai village, wildlife drives, lodges, costs, and practical tips.

“We were accompanied by Tayc throughout the entire trip, from start to finish. He was a precious travel companion during the more challenging moments, such as transportation. He accompanied us to a Maasai village to learn about their culture and customs, and then we went to the mikumi with Stephan. We had the opportunity to see so many animals and stop to take all the photos we wanted. The lodge is basic but nice and has super staff. Highly recommended!”
