Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Mikumi Panorama

 
Original - A panorama of the Mikumi National Park in Mikumi, Tanzania. The mountain ranges at the mid-ground are the Uluguru Mountains, which border the park together with the Udzungwa Mountains. With an area of 3230 km², it is the fourth largest national park in the country.
 
Edit 1- Cropped partially seen trees and to decentralize the horizon
Reason
A good quality (QI at commons}, high resolution, encyclopedic image of a remote part of the world. Neither commons nor wikipedia has any other images of the park and very few, if any commercial versions are available elsewhere. The picture in my opinion, does a good job of illustrating the landscape and vegetation and also shows the road which is used by tourists to explore the park. A close inspection of the image also shows a minivan of tourists. The image also shows a distinctive feature of this park, the Uluguru Mountains which appear in the mid-ground of the original image, adding more value to the image as this illustrates the geography of the park.
