Close encounter with an elephant in Mikumi National Park

2 nights · Tanzania

Mikumi National Park

Wide open floodplain grasslands we've returned to for years — close enough for a short safari, with elephant herds that come eye to eye with the vehicle.

Book this safari
  1. Day 1: Into the floodplain

    Game drives across the Mkata floodplain — elephant, buffalo, and giraffe against a backdrop of the Uluguru Mountains, an area we know from years of family visits, not a guidebook.

  2. Day 2: Golden hour on the grasslands

    An early drive for the best light, then time at a hide to watch the plain wake up.
