Mikumi National Park 
Mikumi National Park borders the Selous Game Reserve. The abundant wildlife, attracted to the lush vegetation, includes lions, eland, zebra, wildebeest, elephant, hippo and giraffe. Eland, the world's largest antelope, are frequently sighted around the Mkata Floodplain. Mikumi is the most reliable destination in Tanzania for viewing the eland. Several observation towers in the park allow visitors to view the entire park.
