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.

“I have found my interactions with the company , excellent , Casey was professional and very good at directing us in our itinerary, it is difficult from Australia with no previous knowledge of East Africa to understand what will work well for our family. We enjoyed the exposure to many different areas of Tanzania.
Our guides were friendly, lovely at supporting us and assisting with any small problems. Dave’s knowledge was exceptional and he found us all the usual animals but also was great at directing us to take a better photo or find me that amazing tree.
The suggestion to travel to Rwanda was fantastic and we would highly recommend this to families and others travelling. Norbert was lovely and we enjoyed the exposure to his incredible country.
We loved our time in Tanzania and Rwanda and would highly recommend Access 2 Tanzania.”
