While Mikumi National Park is known for its diverse wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, and leopards, it can be more challenging to spot all of the Big Five in a single day. However, it’s possible to see several of these iconic animals during your visit.
Mikumi National Park is home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide range of bird species. The park’s open grasslands and scenic landscapes are also notable attractions.
