Welcome to Mikumi National Park, a hidden gem in Tanzania’s wild heart. Covering over 3,230 square kilometers, Mikumi might be one of East Africa’s best-kept secrets, but it’s a treasure trove of untamed beauty and remarkable wildlife experiences.

Mikumi’s landscapes are a testament to nature’s artistry, with rolling savannahs stretching as far as the eye can see. These golden plains are home to a cast of characters that includes the iconic Big Five—majestic lions, towering elephants, elusive leopards, formidable buffaloes, and graceful rhinos. While the rhino population is relatively small, Mikumi plays a crucial role in their conservation.

What sets Mikumi apart is its accessibility and the opportunity for intimate encounters with wildlife. Here, you can embark on game drives that bring you face-to-face with nature’s wonders. The Mkata Floodplain, a centerpiece of the park, is a paradise for herbivores and predators alike, offering a front-row seat to thrilling predator-prey interactions.

Beyond the big game, Mikumi is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 400 bird species, including the vibrant lilac-breasted roller and the striking bateleur eagle. The park’s diverse ecosystems, from acacia woodlands to the Miombo forests, provide a haven for these winged wonders.

Mikumi National Park offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. As you watch the sun paint the sky with fiery hues, the night comes alive with the sounds of the wild. Mikumi’s camps and lodges offer a cozy respite, blending comfort with the ambiance of the African wilderness.

Whether you’re exploring Mikumi on a traditional game drive, seeking the thrill of walking safaris, or simply savoring the tranquility under the starlit African sky, Mikumi National Park promises a safari experience that’s both memorable and immersive.
