MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK
Tanzania’s Safari Gem
Discover the beauty of Mikumi National Park, where vast savannas, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes offer an unforgettable safari experience.
EXPLORE THE WILDLIFE TREASURES OF MIKUMI
Mikumi National Park is Tanzania’s fourth-largest national park and one of the most accessible safari destinations from Dar es Salaam. Often compared to the Serengeti for its vast open plains and abundant wildlife, Mikumi is a perfect destination for first-time safari-goers and wildlife enthusiasts.
The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, and hippos. With its diverse habitats ranging from golden grasslands to miombo woodlands, Mikumi offers exceptional game viewing experiences. The Mkata Floodplain, often referred to as the “mini Serengeti,” is a hotspot for spotting large herds of buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest grazing under the African sun.
VISITING MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK
Best Time to Visit Mikumi
Wildlife viewing is excellent year-round, but the dry season (June to October) is the best time for game drives, as animals gather around water sources. The green season (November to May) offers stunning landscapes, lush vegetation, and incredible birdwatching opportunities.
Top Things to Do in Mikumi
Game Drives: Explore the famous Mkata Floodplain, where herds of wildlife roam freely against a backdrop of rolling hills.
Sunrise and Sunset Safaris: Capture breathtaking views of the African savanna during the golden hours of the day.
Hippo Pools: Visit the hippo pools to witness hippos and crocodiles cooling off in the water, surrounded by spectacular birdlife.
