This short safari is perfect for travellers, who only have limited time, but want to experience the wildlife of Tanzania on a short trip. Mikumi is the closest National Park to Dar es Salaam, and offers some stunning wildlife experience!

As it is close to the Selous ecosystem and therefore part of it, it benefits from the highest game density of the entire conservation area. The Mikumi National Park obtains a good impression of the African animal world and is suitable very well for a short visit.
