Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park is one of Tanzania’s most accessible wildlife destinations, located in the southern region near Morogoro. Often considered a miniature version of the Serengeti, the park features vast open savannahs, acacia woodlands, and the picturesque Mkata River, creating diverse habitats for a wide variety of wildlife. Visitors can spot elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and numerous bird species during exciting game drives.

The park is ideal for both short day trips and extended safari adventures, providing opportunities for photography, birdwatching, and observing wildlife in their natural environment. Its relatively small size and accessibility make it a convenient destination for travelers looking to experience Tanzania’s iconic savannah landscapes without venturing too far from the main roads.

Mikumi also serves as a gateway to southern safari circuits, including Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park, offering an excellent introduction to Tanzania’s rich biodiversity. With its stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and tranquil atmosphere, Mikumi National Park is perfect for nature lovers, families, and first-time safari-goers seeking an unforgettable Tanzanian adventure.
