Discover Mikumi: Abundant Wildlife and Scenic Landscapes
To discover Mikumi National Park is to explore the "Little Serengeti" of Southern Tanzania, an accessible and highly rewarding safari destination known for its vast open plains and reliable wildlife encounters. The heart of the park is the spectacular Mkata Floodplain, whose sprawling golden grasslands draw frequent comparisons to its more famous northern counterpart, all set against the scenic backdrop of distant mountain ranges. Especially now, at the start of the dry season, the plains teem with life, offering incredible and easily accessible viewing opportunities. You can expect to see huge herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, and impala, alongside plentiful elephants and giraffes, while the park's resident lion prides are often spotted surveying their territory from atop termite mounds and the hippo pools provide guaranteed sightings of these massive, water-loving creatures. Mikumi delivers a classic and convenient East African safari experience, rich in wildlife and iconic landscapes.
