Mikumi is the fourth-largest national park, with a landscape of baobabs, black hardwood trees, and grassy plains, and the most accessible from Dar es Salaam. With almost guaranteed year-round wildlife sightings, Mikumi makes an ideal safari destination for those without much time. It hosts buffaloes, gnus, giraffes, elephants, lions, zebras, leopards, crocodiles, and endangered wild dogs, and chances are high that you’ll see a respectable sampling of these within a short time of entering the park.

Overview
This trip takes you to the park which is easiest to access from Dar es Salaam. A Six-hour drive on the tarmac takes you straight to the gate of Mikumi National Park where you can see elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, elands, greater kudu, wildebeest, roan, hippos and sable antelope. The open plains surrounded by mountains make beautiful scenery, and the peak of the day is usually by the hippo pool as the sunset paints the skies in beautiful colors inspiring both professional and hobby photographers.
Recommendation:
Add one more night to do both a full-day game drive in Mikumi and the Udzungwa walk.
