Mikumi National Park is often referred to as a smaller version of the Serengeti due to its open plains and abundant wildlife. Conveniently located near Dar es Salaam, it’s ideal for shorter visits or as an introduction to Tanzania’s southern circuit. Visitors can expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos, alongside vibrant birdlife. The park’s accessibility and variety of wildlife make it a popular choice for families and first-time safari-goers.
