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.

Location: Southern Tanzania, between Selous and Ruaha

Things 2 Do: Game Drives and Guided Walks

Time: 1 night minimum, up to 3 nights

Animals: Lions, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala, Buffalo, Crocodile, Elephants, Giraffe, 400 Bird Species, Eland, Greater Kudu and Sable Antelope.

“A2T was great across the board! We had a very positive trip-planning experience and felt about as ready as possible for our trip. Karen was a pleasure to work with in this regard, and often anticipated questions before they were even asked. She was very available and helpful throughout the pre-trip process, and even during the trip itself (though there were no issues that arose).”
