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.

“From start to finish, Access 2 Tanzania exceeded all our expectations. The entire experience was incredibly well-organized and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Wilfred, our guide, absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, passionate and made each game drive exciting and memorable. We felt safe, cared for, and truly immersed in the beauty of the wildlife. Seeing all of the Big Five was a highlight of a trip that we will never forget. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable safari experience.”
