Overview

This 3-day, 2-night safari to Mikumi National Park offers a perfect short escape into one of Tanzania’s most accessible wildlife destinations. Located along the northern border of Africa’s largest game reserve, Selous, the park is easily reached via the main road connecting Dar es Salaam and Iringa.

Mikumi forms part of a vast wilderness area spanning around 75,000 square kilometers, stretching almost to the Indian Ocean. Its open landscapes and rich wildlife make it a standout destination, especially the Mkata Floodplain—the park’s highlight—which is often compared to the famous Serengeti Plains due to its wide horizons and abundance of animals.

This safari provides a great introduction to Tanzania’s natural beauty, combining convenience with rewarding wildlife experiences.
