About This Tz safaris

Landscape: Open savannahs and acacia plains with the Mkata floodplain as a central feature — flat grasslands often compared to a smaller Serengeti. Close to roads linking Dar es Salaam and the interior.
Animals: Good opportunities for sightings of lion, zebra, giraffe, hippo and wildebeest; occasional wild dog. Mikumi is frequently used for short or combined safaris for travelers on the coast.
History / notes: Mikumi forms part of a larger ecosystem connecting to the Selous region; its accessibility makes it important for tourism and local economies.
