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.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Access 2 Tanzania. We found them responsive, detail oriented, and extremely patient. Despite numerous changes to our itinerary, including a month delay, they handled all of it with no problems. Whenever we needed to talk to them they were available for a phone conference and both my husband and I felt totally confident with their planning and arrangements.”
