Mikumi National Park

Often called the “mini-Serengeti” for its resemblance to its vast northern neighbor, Mikumi National Park is the fourth-largest in Tanzania and the most accessible from the nation’s commercial capital. Established in 1964, it’s open horizons and sprawling Mkata Floodplain—a classic East African savannah scene—offer an uncomplicated and rewarding safari experience. As a key part of the vast Selous ecosystem, Mikumi serves as a vital wildlife corridor and is renowned for its reliable game viewing opportunities. What makes Mikumi exceptional is its combination of easy accessibility, starkly beautiful landscapes, and a rich concentration of wildlife that appears almost immediately upon entering the park gates.
