Mikumi National Park is one of Tanzania’s most accessible and ecologically rich protected areas, offering an unforgettable safari experience just hours from the bustling city of Dar es Salaam. Established in 1964, the park covers over 3,230 square kilometers, making it the fourth-largest national park in the country.

As part of the greater Selous ecosystem, Mikumi plays a critical role in conserving wildlife corridors and protecting a wide range of habitats, from open grasslands to miombo woodlands and seasonal floodplains.
