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.

“A2T provides excellent communication with their clients from the initial planning stages through the end of their safari. Casey, our consultant, was very helpful in planning a visit with my child as well as exhibiting creativity in arranging special activities for our party. He also helped troubleshoot any concerns and presented solutions. A2T is very well organized and obviously treats their employees well and fairly. They give employees opportunities for advancement, e.g.assisting employees to advance from transport and cultural guides to safari guides. When I book my safari with A2T, I always know that I will have an outstanding experience.”
