Mikumi National Park
The Serengeti of the south — accessible by road from Dar es Salaam.
Why Mikumi National Park
Mikumi is Tanzania's fourth-largest park, with open Mkata floodplains that recall the Serengeti's short-grass plains.
Its road-accessibility from Dar makes it perfect for short safaris and weekend escapes — without sacrificing big-game variety.
