To get from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park, you will need to take a combination of a ferry, a taxi or a shuttle, and possibly a private tour operator or safari company.
Ferry from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam: The first step is to take a ferry from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, which is the nearest city to Mikumi National Park. Several ferry companies operate daily services from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, and the journey takes approximately 2-3 hours.
Taxi or Shuttle from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi: Once you arrive in Dar es Salaam, you can take a taxi or a shuttle to Mikumi. The journey takes approximately 5-6 hours, depending on traffic conditions, and the road can be bumpy in some places. You can book a taxi or a shuttle in advance or arrange one upon arrival at the ferry terminal or airport.
Private Tour Operator or Safari Company: Alternatively, you can book a private tour operator or a safari company to take care of your transportation from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park. They can arrange for a private car or a safari vehicle with a driver-guide to pick you up from the ferry terminal or the airport and drive you to the park. This option is more convenient and may provide a more comfortable and safe journey.
It's essential to plan your journey in advance and book your ferry tickets and transportation in advance, especially during the high season, as the demand for transportation can be high
