Mikumi 3 Days Package – From Zanzibar Return

A visit Mikumi National can easily be combined with hiking in the rainforests of Udzungwa Mountains National Park, or a couple of days in the gigantic Selous Game Reserve. Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park are bordering each other. Further Mikumi National Park is split by a surfaced road between Dar es Salaam and Iringa. In other words, Mikumi National Park is a very accessible national park that attracts many visitors from all over the world. The National Park of Mikumi is also known as “The little Serengeti”.

Lions survey their grassy kingdom – and the zebra, wildebeest, impala and buffalo herds that migrate across it – from the flattened tops of termite mounds, or sometimes, during the rains, from perches high in the trees. Giraffes forage in the isolated acacia woods along the Mkata River, giving shade also favoured by Mikumi’s elephants.
