Safari summary
You’ll explore Mikumi National Park, nestled away in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands and one of the least-known parks in the country. It’s actually Tanzania’s fourth-largest national park, and there’s a good chance that you’ll see giraffes, elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes and crocodiles amid all the baobabs, light woodland and savannah-like plains.
Many visitors fall in love with Nyerere National Park the very first time they see it. Perhaps it’s the soulful Rufiji River with its hippos. Or else the palm-fringed lakes where crocodiles wait around the edge for the many animals – zebra, giraffe, buffalo and wildebeest – who come down here to drink. This is also the place for you to see lions because Nyerere has more lions than almost any other African park. Elephants, too. If you’re fortunate, you might also see a spotted hyena, leopard or African wild dog.
