Budget Mikumi National Park Tours

Framed by the craggy peaks of the Uluguru Mountains, Mikumi National Park offers a dramatic and uncrowded alternative to the northern parks. Often described as the southern gateway to the vast Selous ecosystem, its heart lies in the Mkata Floodplain, where tree-climbing lions survey the golden horizon from ancient termite mounds. The park is a sanctuary for unique residents like the powerful eland—the world’s largest antelope—and rare sable antelopes that roam the dense miombo woodlands. With its easy accessibility and a landscape dotted with iconic baobabs and tamarind trees, Mikumi provides an intimate, high-impact safari experience that feels both raw and remarkably serene.
