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 was incredibly impressed by Access 2 Tanzania. From out initial consultation experiences with Casey to our wonderful experiences on safari with our guide Ray, your company is unrivaled. In addition, we were highly impressed when Access 2 Tanzania was able to find us wonderful accommodations last minute after our original accommodations were shut down due to a fire. Other companies would not have worked that diligently to rectify the situation. Finally, the entire trip was very well organized and well paced, striking the right balance between adventure and relaxation.”
