Unlike the vast plains of the north, Mikumi’s landscape is a captivating tapestry. Sweeping savannas dotted with iconic acacia trees stretch as far as the eye can see, while the life-giving Mkata River snakes its way through the park, creating lush floodplains that teem with wildlife during the wet season. The park even extends to the foothills of the majestic Selous Mountains, adding a touch of dramatic scenery to your safari adventure.

This diversity of habitat translates to an impressive array of animals calling Mikumi home. From the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo) to fascinating predators like cheetah and wild dog, Mikumi offers excellent game viewing opportunities.
