The Gateway to Southern Tanzania’s Wildlife
Located between Dar es Salaam and the southern highlands, Mikumi National Park is one of Tanzania’s most accessible and rewarding safari destinations. Known for its open horizons, abundant wildlife, and classic African savannah scenery, Mikumi delivers an authentic safari experience with fewer crowds than the northern circuit.
At JustGoSafaris, we present Mikumi as the perfect balance of convenience, wildlife diversity, and scenic beauty, ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari travelers.
Mikumi National Park forms part of the greater Selous ecosystem and is dominated by wide, open floodplains and distant mountain backdrops:
The iconic Mkata Floodplain, often compared to the Serengeti plains
Acacia woodlands and riverine forests
Seasonal rivers attracting wildlife during the dry season
Rolling hills and distant mountains creating panoramic views
This open terrain allows for excellent visibility and photography, making wildlife sightings frequent and memorable.
Mikumi supports a rich diversity of wildlife and offers some of the most reliable sightings in southern Tanzania:
Large herds of elephants, buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest
Lions, often seen surveying the plains
Leopards and hyenas in wooded areas
Giraffes, elands, and hartebeests
Over 400 bird species, including storks, eagles, and hornbills
