Journey Through Tanzania, Your Essential Travel Resources
Mikumi National Park, located in southeastern Tanzania, is the fourth largest national park in the country, covering an area of approximately 3,230 square kilometers. It is part of the larger Selous ecosystem and lies in a region of diverse landscapes, from floodplains and grasslands to miombo woodlands. The park is often compared to the Serengeti due to its flat plains, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Its proximity to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, makes it a convenient and popular destination for both short and extended safaris.
Size: Approximately 3,230 square kilometers
Location: Southeastern Tanzania, near the city of Morogoro
Established: 1964
Landscape: Floodplains, grasslands, miombo woodlands
Proximity: Close to Dar es Salaam (283 km)
The Best Time To Visit Mikumi National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, animals are more concentrated around water sources, making wildlife viewing easier and more predictable. The dry season also offers pleasant weather with lower humidity. The wet season, from November to May, brings lush greenery and abundant birdlife, but access to some areas may be restricted due to heavy rains and muddy roads.
Game Drives: Explore the park on guided game drives, especially in the Mkata floodplain, which offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
Bird Watching: With over 400 bird species, including the lilac-breasted roller and bateleur eagle, Mikumi is a birdwatcher’s haven.
Walking Safaris: Experience the park's flora and fauna up close on a guided walking safari.
Picnics: Enjoy a meal at designated picnic sites while surrounded by the park's natural beauty.
Cultural Tours: Visit nearby villages to learn about the local culture and traditions.
Elephants: Large herds of elephants roam the savannah, often seen grazing or bathing near water sources.
Lions: Mikumi hosts a population of lions, and sightings of these majestic predators are a common highlight during game drives.
Giraffes: Graceful giraffes wander through the acacia-dotted landscapes, showcasing their distinctive silhouettes.
Buffaloes: Herds of buffaloes graze on the open plains, contributing to the park's rich biodiversity.
Antelopes: Impalas, wildebeests, zebras, and greater kudus are among the various antelope species found in the park.
Birds: Mikumi's diverse birdlife includes marabou storks, lilac-breasted rollers, African fish eagles, and a variety of waterfowl.

Incredible trip with our incredible guide, Danny. Not the usual safari: we spent time living with the Maasai and explored 3 different parks seeing all the animals (except the leopard - this time!).
