About Mikumi National Park
Mikumi National Park is the most accessible of Tanzania's southern-circuit parks, its Mkata floodplain so rich in game that it is often called a little Serengeti. Lions survey the plain from termite mounds, huge elephant and buffalo herds cross open grassland, and giraffe browse the acacia lines against the Uluguru Mountains. Just a few hours' drive from Dar es Salaam on tarmac, Mikumi delivers a genuine Big Four safari without a flight, and combines beautifully with Nyerere (Selous) and Udzungwa on a southern loop.
