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 were very happy with with Access 2 Tanzania. The planning process was very smooth with the help of Casey. We appreciated Casey finalizing our trip late at night before we left. Willy was a great guide who has a true passion for what he does. He is very knowledgeable and he was a lot of fun. He took care of every detail throughout the trip. We were very happy with all of the accommodations throughout the trip.”
