Safari & Travel Guide for Mikumi National Park
Covering an area of over 3,230$ square kilometers (1,250 square miles), Mikumi National Park is Tanzania’s fourth-largest national park and the centerpiece of the Southern Safari Circuit. Located between the Uluguru Mountains and the Lumango Range, Mikumi shares its ecosystem with the vast Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve), allowing big game to roam freely across a massive wilderness corridor.
Often compared to the Serengeti for its open savannah horizon and Mkata Floodplain, Mikumi offers accessible, high-density game viewing, making it a top choice for short safaris, day trips from Dar es Salaam, and budget-friendly wildlife itineraries for international buyers and direct travelers.
