A chartered flight delivers you to a small airstrip near the park, and a waiting 4x4 pushes through the scrub toward open savanna where giraffes silhouette themselves against the horizon.

Mikumi was established as a national park in 1964 and forms an ecological link with the larger Selous ecosystem to the south, historically used by migrating herds.
Visitors should stay on designated roads and avoid off-road driving; the park faces pressures from grazing and nearby development, so responsible tourism supports conservation fees and local communities.
