Mikumi National Park
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.
