Mikumi National Park

Description: Mikumi, transected by the surfaced road from Dar es Salaam to Iringa is the most accessible park in the Southern circuit. The centerpiece of Mikumi is the abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplains that draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. Lions survey their grassy kingdom – and the zebra, wildebeest, impala and buffalo herds that migrate across it – from the flattened tops of termite mounds. It is perhaps the most reliable place in Tanzania to view the eland, the world’s largest antelope.

“Access 2 Tanzania was an amazing company to deal with. Karen really listened to what I wanted out of the trip and made recommendations and suggestions that were perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable and a warm and funny person. The vehicle was clean every day and was well stocked with beverages and wipes and napkin. You spend a lot of time in the Land Cruiser!”
