This park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, impalas, kudus, hartebeests, leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas. Mikumi also boasts over 400 species of birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner at the campsite under the African sky. The sounds of the bush will lull you to sleep in your tent.
