Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park is one of Tanzania’s most accessible and rewarding safari destinations, offering excellent wildlife viewing, scenic landscapes, and authentic African safari experiences just a few hours from Dar es Salaam. Located in southern Tanzania, the park forms part of the larger Selous ecosystem and is often compared to the famous Serengeti due to its wide open plains and abundant wildlife.

Covering approximately 3,230 square kilometers, Mikumi National Park is home to diverse habitats including grasslands, acacia woodland, mountains, and wetlands. The park is ideal for travelers looking for a short safari getaway, family adventure, or southern Tanzania safari circuit experience.

With fewer crowds than northern Tanzania parks and impressive wildlife sightings year-round, Mikumi National Park offers a peaceful and memorable safari adventure for nature lovers and photographers alike.
