Destination
Mikumi
The easy safari from Dar es Salaam
Mikumi is a few hours’ drive from Dar es Salaam on a good road, which makes it perfect for families, short trips and anyone combining safari with the coast.
Highlights
- Short drive from Dar es Salaam
- Hippo pools
- Great first safari for young children
The Mkata floodplain is often compared to the Serengeti: open grassland with elephants, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and lions, plus a hippo pool full of crocodiles. It is one of our favourite parks for a first safari with children.
