Overview

About Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park lies just 283 km from Dar es Salaam, making it the most accessible major game park for Tanzania's largest city. The Mkata Floodplain at the heart of the park provides open, Serengeti-like plains ideal for game viewing — lion prides, large buffalo herds, giraffe, elephant and hippo are regularly seen. The park often serves as a weekend wildlife fix for Dar es Salaam residents.
