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.

“Our trip preparation was totally seamless process. Access 2 Tanzania took care of everything. I couldn’t even imagine that everything would run so perfectly smoothly and 100 percent on time at every step of the way. Our guide Maningo was totally amazing and such a delight to spend the week with. His expertise and work ethic was just extraordinary! We had the pleasure of meeting many of the behind the scenes personnel at the A2T office in Arusha as well. The staff there were equally amazing and such gracious and welcoming hosts for a delicious lunch they served us on the day of our departure back to the States.”
