ABOUT SELOUS, MIKUMI & RUAHA
Three of the best
national parks
in one go
At 55,000 km2, Selous National Park in southern Tanzania is one of the world’s largest protected reserves. It is home to an array of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, antelopes, lions, and cheetahs.
Mikumi National Park is a game reserve located in Tanzania’s Morogoro region and forms a contiguous area with the Selous Game Reserve. The golden grasslands of north-western Mikumi set the stage for a wonderful concentration of mammals, birds, and reptiles, while the impenetrable forests and mountains to the southeast border Selous.
Ruaha National Park, located in the Iringa Region, is home to over 10,000 elephants and is popular for its vast grassy plains, lush forests, towering mountains, and beautiful landscapes. Ruaha is one of Tanzania’s most popular destinations for safari and is a must-see for anyone visiting the African continent.
