Mikumi National Park is a popular and easily accessible safari destination in Southern Tanzania. Often compared to the Serengeti due to its expansive Mkata floodplain, which is home to large herds of elephants, buffalo, zebras, and wildebeest, the park offers a fantastic wildlife viewing experience. Its proximity to Dar es Salaam makes it a perfect choice for those with limited time who still want to experience the magic of an African safari. The park also boasts a high density of lions, and you may even spot the rare tree-climbing lions.
