Mikumi National Park Safari
About this journey
Mikumi National Park sits astride the main highway from Dar es Salaam to the south, making it Tanzania's most accessible southern safari destination. The Mkata Floodplain is often compared to the Serengeti for its open grasslands and prolific wildlife. Lions, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo are common, and the park's Hippo Pool is one of the best viewing spots in Tanzania.
