Giraffes & Zebras in Mikumi National Park

The journey

Trip highlights

01 Explore Mikumi National Park, framed by the Uluguru and Udzungwa Mountains
02 See the open Mkata Floodplain, often compared to the Serengeti Plains
03 Look out for lions, zebra, wildebeest, impala, buffalo, giraffes, and elephants
04 Enjoy two game drives through one of Tanzania's most accessible wilderness areas

Flanked by the Uluguru and Udzungwa Mountains, Mikumi National Park is the most accessible part of a 75,000-square-kilometre (47,000-square-mile) tract of wilderness stretching east almost as far as the Indian Ocean. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centrepiece of Mikumi, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. During two game drives, watch lions survey their grassy kingdom alongside zebra, wildebeest, impala, buffalo, giraffes, and elephants across the floodplain and acacia-fringed Mkata River.
