Mikumi National Park, located in southern Tanzania, is one of the country’s most accessible safari destinations. Just a short drive from Dar es Salaam, it is often called the “Serengeti of the South” because of its vast open plains teeming with wildlife. The park is home to elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and over 400 bird species, making it an ideal destination for first-time safari-goers and seasoned travelers alike.
