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.

“Knowledgeable, organized, thorough, great insight into Tanzania (it’s culture and people), understanding and caring about what we wanted to experience best describes our experience with Access2Tanzania. We wanted an African experience that was not touristy and absorbed us in the culture of the people as well as seeing all the wildlife we could see. Karen listened and designed an amazing 11 day adventure. Our accommodations were all unique, clean and we always felt safe. All 7 of us were thoroughly impressed. We highly recommend Access2Tanzania!”
