1-Day Start from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park Then Fly Back Zanzibar
Mikumi, known for its accessibility, is the most alluring park for a safari, offering an authentic taste of African wildlife while optimizing your time. The park, spanning 3,230km², is rich in easily observable wildlife, making it ideal for weekend visitors from Dar es Salaam. Named after the Borassus palm tree that once dominated the area, Mikumi National Park shares a unique ecosystem with the Selous Game Reserve to the south. It is bordered by the Udzungwa Mountains and Uluguru Mountains, with Malundwe Mountain standing tall within the park. The highest peak, reaching 1290 meters elevation, adds to the park's scenic beauty.
