Mikumi National Park, located in the Morogoro Region of Tanzania, is one of the country's most accessible and popular wildlife destinations. Spanning approximately 3,230 square kilometers, it is part of the larger Selous ecosystem. The park is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including large herds of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and various antelope species. Predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas also inhabit the area. The Mkata Floodplain, often compared to the Serengeti Plains, is a highlight for game viewing. Additionally, Mikumi is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 400 species recorded.
