Top Dar es Salaam Natural Attractions

Mikumi National Park is the fourth-largest national park, with a landscape of baobabs, black hardwood trees and grassy plains, and the most accessible from Dar es Salaam. With almost guaranteed year-round wildlife sightings, Mikumi makes an ideal safari destination for those without much time. Within its 3230 sq km – set between the Uluguru Mountains to the northeast, the Rubeho Mountains to the northwest and the Lumango Mountains to the southeast – Mikumi hosts buffaloes, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, lions, zebras, leopards, crocodiles and endangered wild dogs, and chances are high that you’ll see a respectable sampling of these within a short time of entering the park.

This tour starts and ends in Dar-es-salaam. For a 5-day safari, The Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi National Park offer the most authentic safari experience available to this day. The wildlife is abundant and accessible. The bush is home to an incredible variety of bird species, large mammals, and endangered wild dogs still roam freely in this very special part of Africa.
