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’m impressed! All our dealings with Access2Tanzania were highly professional and responsive to our needs and interests. Once in Tanzania it was clear that our planning and communication with Karen and staff paid off. Overall, the trip exceeded my wildest expectations! I would not hesitate to recommend Access2Tanzania to anyone–and have, in fact, already supplied a friend with contact information for Karen. At the end of many trips I’m ready to go home. In this case, not. Our guide, David, worked extremely hard to provide us with the best possible game (and bird) experience. It was evident that he was proud of working for Access2Tanzania.”
