Mikumi National Park: The Little Serengeti
Mikumi National Park in southern Tanzania is one of the most accessible safari spots. Famous for the Mkata Floodplain, which is compared to the Serengeti, it is a vital part of the vast Selous ecosystem. It’s known for high numbers of buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and zebras, and unique tree-climbing lions. Over 400 bird species also make it a fantastic stop for all wildlife lovers.
The Perfect Escape from the City
This safari is perfect because Mikumi is the most accessible major park from Dar es Salaam, allowing you to leave the city's busy life behind for a full day of wilderness without needing a flight or a long, multi-day commitment. The journey itself is made on the new SGR Electric Train to Morogoro, meaning you spend less time travelling and more time viewing wildlife.
