Embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania’s most accessible and fourth-largest national park. Conveniently located along the surfaced road between Dar es Salaam and Iringa, Mikumi offers a perfect blend of wildlife, birdlife, and stunning landscapes, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts and safari lovers.

Mikumi is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with its iconic hippo pools—just 5 kilometers north of the main entrance gate—providing an up-close encounter with these mud-loving giants. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 400 bird species, including the strikingly colorful lilac-breasted roller and the yellow-throated longclaw.

For those seeking the thrill of spotting Africa’s legendary Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—Mikumi rarely disappoints. The park’s diverse ecosystems, from open grasslands to dense woodlands, create the perfect habitat for a wide array of wildlife, including cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and more.
