SAFARI FOR A MILLION PHOTOS - Tomek Dworczyk Zanzibar - We were on safari on February 24, 2024 with Tomek Dworczyk - an amazing enthusiast, traveler and photographer. He professionally performed his task, talking interestingly about the habits of animals inhabiting Mikumi Park and taking amazing photos with them. Of course, we received photos from the trip taken with professional equipment and great shots. We recommend Tomek with full confidence that the participants of his trips will certainly be satisfied.

Best team for Mikumi Safari from Zanzibar - Amazing team and superb organization. We visited Mikumi Nation Park at the beginning of February for a one-day trip, and it was a fantastic experience. We started in Zanzibar early in the morning to be the first group in Mikumi. Safari was amazing - full day experience in the national park and the team did their best to show us all the animals, including lions :) Cars were very comfortable and safe with drinks and snacks (our premium option). We had Tomasz, the photographer, who took hundreds of great pictures from our trip, so it's a great addition to the experience of the safari. Organization, flights and engagement during the whole day were absolutely amazing. I strongly recommend Safari Gateway and Tomasz from "Podroz za million zdjec" for a safari trip to Mikumi (they also do Serengeti and Salous trips).

Day full of emotions - Exceptional day. Élise and Riqui were adorable, they explained the savannah to us and showed us beautiful animals and landscapes. Good humor, cupcakes and smiles. All the drivers work together to find out where to find the animals.

Ashamed ! - Our plane was delayed leaving Zanzibar. Arrived at Mikumi 11:30. We were picked up by the guide and the tour began. After an hour and a half he told us that the visit was over and it was time to go eat! We asked if we would resume the tour after the meal and he said no! We complained because we had only seen gazelles and zebras. We wanted to see lions, elephants, giraffes... to our great disappointment we did not see the elephants, the giraffes from very, very far away and by insisting he took us to see the lion! We paid €400/person and honestly we are extremely disappointed with this excursion. At 3:30 p.m. we were on the plane home! 4 hours on site for a safari!! It is shameful ! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
