Southern Tanzania

Mikumi National Park

Wide horizons, classic savannah and an unhurried introduction to Tanzania's wildlife—close enough for a short escape, rich enough for a longer stay.

A rewarding southern safari

The Mikumi experience

Mikumi is made for travellers who want meaningful time in the bush without an overcomplicated route. Its open landscapes make wildlife viewing feel spacious and relaxed, while a private vehicle lets each game drive follow your interests and pace.

Tanzania Hai can arrange Mikumi as a focused short safari or connect it with a wider southern Tanzania journey. Travel times, rest stops and daily activities are shaped around your party.

Highlights
  • Open Mkata floodplain and far-reaching savannah views
  • Elephants, giraffes, buffalo, antelope and abundant birdlife
  • Private game drives paced around the wildlife and light
  • A practical safari extension from Dar es Salaam
Ways to explore
  • Morning and afternoon game drives
  • Wildlife and landscape photography
  • Birdwatching with an experienced guide
  • Tailor-made road-safari combinations
