Upon arrival, enjoy lunch before embarking on your first exciting afternoon game drive. Mikumi National Park offers exceptional wildlife viewing throughout the year. The park's open grasslands attract large populations of zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, and various antelope species.

Predators such as lions can often be spotted resting under acacia trees or hunting across the plains. Bird enthusiasts will also appreciate the park's impressive variety of birdlife.
