Mikumi National Park safari | Travel guide

Mikumi Park (NP) is a 1,247 sq. mile park in south central Tanzania. Located within the north of the Selous Game Reserve in the Morogoro region, it is bordered by Uluguru Mountains in the North and Rubeho Mountains to the south-east 

Most visitors coming to Mikumi National Park (NP), the fourth largest national park in Tanzania, come to see the ‘Big Five’ large mammals and won’t be disappointed. 

During the rainy season, visitors can see many of these animals in herds as they migrate from flat lowlands to the heightened posts by the trees. Giraffes can be found eating in the acacia trees along the banks of the Mkata River where elephants seek them for their shade.

Why visit Mikumi National Park?

Safari in mikumi np.

With almost guaranteed wildlife sightings, it makes an ideal safari destination for those without much time. Located just 185 miles from Tanzania’s largest city Dar es Salaam, makes Mikumi National Park a popular option for weekend visitors from the city. 

The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centerpiece of Mikumi, draws frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains.

Visitors on safari game drives will find lions surveying their grassy kingdom, gazing at buffalo herds migrating below as well as the flattened tops of termite mounds. 

Giraffes forage in the isolated acacia stands that fringe the Mkata River, islets of shade favoured also by Mikumi’s elephants.

Criss-crossed by a good circuit of game-viewing roads, the Mkata Floodplain is perhaps the most reliable place in Tanzania for sightings of the powerful eland, the world’s largest antelope. The equally impressive greater kudu and sable antelope haunt the miombo-covered foothills of the mountains that rise from the park’s borders.

In order to get a good look at the world’s biggest antelope, the eland, head over to the Mkata Floodplains from the game viewing roads. This is the most reliable location to watch elands in Tanzania, but it also offers sightings of kudu and sable antelope who populate the “miombo” covered hillsides along the limits of the park.

Accommodation is also available with well priced lodges in the surrounding area.

The park is well-known for its population of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, elands, greater Kudu, wildebeest, roan and sable antelope, buffalo, Burchell’s zebra, sable, eland, Liechtenstein’s hartebeest, spotted hyena and yellow baboons. 

Predators include large numbers of tree-climbing lions, leopards, wild hunting dogs and black-backed jackals.

It is also common to see lions and sometimes giraffes and leopards along the Tanzania-Zambia highway, especially in the evening or night. 

In the two pools north of Mikumi’s main park gate, hippos are frequently joined by flocks of open-billed storks and other waterbirds. 

The surrounding mountains and hills bring compelling natural beauty with addition to superb light, making it a wonderful venue for wildlife photographers. Zebra, wildebeest, impala and buffalo can be found on the grassy plains. 

Lions, which prey on these animals, share the same area and can occasionally be spotted. Giraffes browse leaves from the isolated acacia trees that fringe the Mkata River whilst the small islands of shade provided by these acacias are also favored by elephants.

More than 400 species of birds have been recorded here including Eurasian migrants such as red billed oxpecker, marabou stork and lilac breasted roller, which stays between October and April. 

There are more interesting bird species in the Miombo woodland, for example, Shelley’s double collared sunbird, pale billed hornbill and violet-crested Turaco as well as violet-backed starling, yellow-throated longclaw and the bateleur eagle.

Other activities at Mikumi NP

There are multiple activities and things to do in Tanzania that can be added to your safari including walking safaris . Here are some other activities which visitors can consider during their visit:

• Mikumi walking safari: Explore the African safari experience with a local guide on a day trip walking safari, an authentic and economical means of exploring the wildlife and local viewing points including the vuma trail and Kikogoba trail. 
• Bird tours: With an incredible range of birds to view including the Zanibar red bishop and the yellow throated longclaw, many visitors come just for the birding park tours, a special experience with colorful common residents such as the lilac-breasted roller.  
• Picnic: Experience a relaxing lunch whilst on a game drive with picnic sites located in Mkata plains and Kusungura.

Things to do

• Where to stay
• Where To Go

Mikumi National Park: A huge catchment of wildlife

The fourth largest National Park in Tanzania offers great game viewing all year around. The landscapes in Mikumi National Park can be compared to those of the Serengeti National Park , as acacias, baobabs and tamarinds dot the savannah.

During the dry-season the Mkata river attracts large numbers of wildlife from the expansive Mkata plains. Healthy populations of elephants and buffaloes can be spotted along the river as they seek water, shade, and the fruit from the tamarind trees.

The Ruhebo and Uluguru mountains, on the northern boundary of Mikumi National Park, are extremely beautiful and offer exceptional guided walks.

Highlights of Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park is part of the enormous Ruaha and Nyerere ecosystems making for exceptional game viewing. It is home to lions, leopards, hyena and even the rare African wild dogs.

Two artificial pools are famous for Mikumi’s hippos, and they attract an array of wildlife, including large numbers of elephants and buffalos.

Unique antelopes, such as the eland, greater kudus, Lichtenstein’s hartebeest and sable antelopes can be seen around the Miombo woodlands and the Vuma hills.

Mikumi National Park is a great place for bird spotting in Tanzania, as 400 bird species reside here. The black bellied bustards, guinea fowl, marabou storks, bateleur eagles, ox peckers, lilac breasted rollers, and yellow throated long claws, are a few of the many species you can see. From November to April, migrating birds return to the park.

Tanzania's fourth largest park

Large already, this park is part of the enormous Ruaha and Nyerere ecosystem, making it home to vast numbers of animals and great game-spotting.

Home to 400 bird species

It's a large national park and a visit will not feel crowded. Enjoy a bush breakfast with Vuma Hills Lodge.

Best time to go to Mikumi National Park

You can travel to this park all year around, however the best time to go to Mikumi National Park is during the dry season from June to October. During this period the wildlife congregate near to water sources, such as the Mkata river and hippo pools. Dense numbers of wildlife make for great game-spotting and the possibility of seeing predators in action. The dry season is also the best period to hike in the mountains, plains and to Kinole waterfall for a swim in the plunge pool.

Ideal for game viewing and guided-treks in the Ruhebo and Uluguru Mountains.

Green Season

Best for spotting migratory birds returning to Africa.

Great game viewing on the southern circuit

The southern circuit offers exceptional game-viewing. If you are hoping to avoid the crowds during Tanzania’s peak season, then the parks on the southern circuit are for you. During the cool dry-season, you can expect to see 4 out of the big five, with only the rhino missing. Lions can be seen along the river as they wait for an opportunity to hunt. The birdlife is excellent here. What is more, the park is highly accessible being only 218 km away from Dar es Salam.

"Thank you for an amazing and super well organized safari trip during the last week. Finn and I are very grateful to have experienced the wonderful nature of Tanzania, the different lodges and camps and most importantly the fantastic animals. This perfect experience, which we will never forget, is first and foremost thanks to our fantastic guide Max. The way he navigated and drove us safely across the various national parks, his impressive knowledge and insights of the landscape and all species of animals as well as his friendliness and flexibility are exemplary and truly deserve a big thank you."

SAFARI & TOUR IN MIKUMI

At Mikumi, game is more varied, but not as densely congregated as it is in the Serengeti. The central Mkata floodplain has herds of elephants, buffalos, impalas and zebras congregating during the day.

BEST TIME TO VISIT MIKUMI

The best time for a dream wildlife safari in Mikumi is between June and October, in the dry season, when the plains host large herds of elephant and ungulates clustering to the last remaining water sources.

HOW TO CONTACT US

Mikumi National Park

Since the completion of the paved road connecting the park gate with Dar es Salaam, Mikumi National Park has been slated to become a hotspot for tourism in Tanzania. Located between the Uluguru Mountains and the Lumango range, Mikumi is the fourth largest national park in Tanzania and only a few hours drive from Tanzania’s largest city. The park has a wide variety of wildlife that can be easy spotted and also well acclimatized to game viewing. Its proximity to Dar es Salaam and the amount of wildlife that live within its borders makes Mikumi National Park a popular option for weekend visitors from the city, or for business visitors who don’t have to spend a long time on an extended safari itinerary.

Most visitors come to Mikumi National Park aiming to spot the ‘Big Five’ (cheetah, lion, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), and they are always not disappointed. Hippo pools provide close access to the mud-loving beasts, and bird-watching along the waterways is particularly rewarding. Mikumi National Park borders the Selous Game Reserve and Udzungwa National Park, and the three locations make a varied and pleasant safari circuit.

Swirls of opaque mist hide the advancing dawn. The first shafts of sun decorate the fluffy grass heads rippling across the plain in a russet halo. A herd of zebras, confident in their camouflage at this predatory hour, pose like ballerinas, heads aligned and stripes merging in flowing motion.

Mikumi National Park abuts the northern border of Africa’s biggest game reserve – the Selous – and is transected by the surfaced road between Dar es Salaam and Iringa. It is thus the most accessible part of a 75,000 square kilometre (47,000 square mile) tract of wilderness that stretches east almost as far as the Indian Ocean.

The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centre piece of Mikumi, draws frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains.

Lions survey their grassy kingdom – and the zebra, wildebeest, impala and buffalo herds that migrate across it – from the flattened tops of termite mounds, or sometimes during the rains, from perches high in the trees. Giraffes forage in the isolated acacia stands that fringe the Mkata River, islets of shade favoured also by Mikumi’s elephants.

Criss-crossed by a good circuit of game-viewing roads, the Mkata Floodplain is perhaps the most reliable place in Tanzania for sightings of the powerful eland, the world’s largest antelope. The equally impressive greater kudu and sable antelope haunt the miombo-covered foothills of the mountains that rise from the park’s borders.

More than 400 bird species have been recorded, with such colourful common residents as the lilac-breasted roller, yellow-throated long claw and bateleur eagle joined by a host of European migrants during the rainy season. Hippos are the star attraction of the pair of pools situated 5km north of the main entrance gate, supported by an ever-changing cast of water-birds.

About Mikumi National Park Size : 3,230 sq km (1,250 sq miles), the fourth-largest national park in Tanzania, and part of a much larger ecosystem centred on the uniquely vast Selous Game Reserve. Location : 283 km (175 miles) west of Dar es Salaam, north of Selous, and en route to Ruaha, Udzungwa and (for the intrepid) Katavi. .

How to get there A good surfaced road connects Mikumi to Dar es Salaam via Morogoro, a roughly 4 hour drive. Also road connections to Udzungwa, Ruaha and (dry season only) Selous. Charter flight from Dar es Salaam, Arusha or Selous. Local buses run from Dar to park HQ where game drives can be arranged.

What to do Game drives and guided walks. Visit nearby Udzungwa or travel on to Selous or Ruaha.

Accommodation Two lodges, three luxury tented camps, three campsites. Guest houses in Mikumi town on the park border. One lodge is proposed at Mahondo and one permanent tented camp at Lumaaga

Mikumi National Park

Southern Highlands

Mikumi is Tanzania’s fourth-largest national park, and the most accessible from Dar es Salaam. With almost guaranteed year-round wildlife sightings, it makes an ideal safari destination for those without much time. Within its 3230 sq km, it hosts buffaloes, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, lions, zebras, leopards, crocodiles and more, and chances are high that you’ll see a respectable sampling of these within a short time of entering the park.

The most reliable wildlife-watching is around the Mkata floodplain, to the northwest of the main road, with the open vistas of the small but lovely Millennium ('Little Serengeti') area a highlight. This area is especially good for spotting buffaloes – often quite near the roadside – as well as giraffes, elephants and zebras. Another attraction: the Hippo Pools, just northwest of the main entry gate, where you can watch hippos wallowing and snorting at close range, plus do some fine birding.

Mikumi is an important educational and research centre. Among the various projects being carried out is an ongoing field study of yellow baboons, which is one of just a handful of such long-term primate studies on the continent.

To the south, Mikumi is contiguous with Selous Game Reserve.

Mikumi National Park – A Tanzanian Safari Adventure Awaits

Mikumi National Park is located in the Morogoro region of Tanzania, covering an area of 3,230 square kilometers. The park is intersected by the Tanzanian A-7 highway. This highway divides the park into two distinct environments and landscapes, making Mikumi National Park quite unique. One of the most interesting aspects of Mikumi National Park is the presence of a subspecies of giraffes, which biologists and scientists suggest may be a link between the reticulated giraffe and Masai giraffe.

The vast plains and abundant wildlife in Mikumi National Park have often led to comparisons with the famous Serengeti National Park. The southeast area of the park is often inaccessible to tourists. Mikumi National Park has become a perfect weekend getaway from Dar es Salaam, as it’s the nearest park to the city. It’s an ideal destination for travelers with busy schedules who still want to explore wildlife, even with limited time. The word “Mikumi” is derived from a popular palm tree dominant in the park.

Mikumi National Park boasts unique vegetation types. The Rubeho and Uluguru mountains at the backdrop of the valleys offer spectacular views. The landscape is characterized by golden savannah grasslands, baobab and hardwood trees, palm trees, Acacia trees, forests, rivers, and more, creating a superb habitat for various wildlife species.

Wildlife Watching

Mikumi National Park is rich in wildlife species, and some of the animals tourists can see during a game drive include elands, impalas, greater kudus, black antelopes, wildebeests, olive baboons, zebras, elephants, buffalos, sable antelope, lions, spotted hyenas, vervet monkeys, yellow baboons, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, lesser kudus, warthogs, giraffes, and many others. The best times for a game drive are during the early morning hours or late afternoon, as you may have the chance to see some nocturnal animals coming out or returning to their dens.

Wild game drives in the park are commonly done at the Mkata flood plains.

Mikumi National Park is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 400 bird species recorded. Bird enthusiasts can expect to spot species such as common ostrich, white-faced whistling duck, long-crested eagle, martial eagle, eastern chanting goshawk, African marsh harrier, African fish eagle, barn owl, African scops owl, spotted eagle owl, speckled mousebird, narina trogon, southern ground hornbill, crowned hornbill, malachite kingfisher, white-fronted bee-eater, lilac-breasted roller, moustached tinkerbird, black-collared barbet, lesser honeyguide, green-backed woodpecker, pygmy falcon, African hobby, yellow-collared lovebird, red-fronted parrot, white-breasted cuckoo-shrike, African black-headed oriole, black-throated wattle-eye, white-helmet shrike, Zanzibar boubou, fork-tailed drongo, northern fiscal, white-rumped shrike, white-necked raven, chestnut-backed sparrow lark, red-capped lark, red-faced crombec, yellow-breasted apalis, singing cisticola, African yellow warbler, little rush warbler, Angola swallow, common house martin, sombre greenbul, Fischer’s greenbul, African hill babbler, pale white-eye, violet-backed starling, lesser blue-eared starling, African thrush, cape robin chat, red-billed buffalo weaver, and zebra waxbill, among others.

Uluguru Mountains

The Uluguru mountain ranges rise to an elevation of 2,630 meters above sea level. These mountains derive their name from the Luguru tribe living around the mountain slopes. The Uluguru mountains are part of the Eastern Arc Mountains in East Africa. They are home to six amphibian species found nowhere else in the world, four species of reptiles, 100 species of plants, several bird species, and mammals. The mountains also serve as water catchments for the surrounding areas, including Dar es Salaam.

Guided Nature Walks

One of the best ways to explore Mikumi National Park is by taking a guided nature walk. Several trails have been established in the park for visitors. Before embarking on a nature walk, tourists will be briefed by a knowledgeable ranger guide who will accompany them during the walk, providing information about the plants, animals, and birds they may encounter.

Kinole and Choma Waterfalls

The splendid Kinole and Choma waterfalls are located in the Uluguru mountains. The cascading waterfalls from enormous rocks offer stunning sights for visitors. An exciting aspect is that you can swim below the waterfalls. On the way to the waterfalls, you can enjoy birdwatching and observe primates in the forest. The waterfalls are perfect for a day trip from Dar es Salaam, where you can bring packed lunch and have a picnic by the falls.

Hiking is one of the exciting activities you can enjoy at Mikumi National Park. Tourists can hike the Uluguru mountains and enjoy stunning views of the park’s landscape from the top. Visitors interested in hiking should come prepared with hiking gear, including waterproof hiking boots, raincoats, hats, sunglasses, insect repellents, long-sleeved clothing, plenty of drinking water, energy snacks, and other essentials.

Chilunga Cultural Tourism

One of the activities tourists can engage in at Mikumi National Park is having a cultural encounter with the local communities living around the park. This cultural experience can be organized by Chilunga Cultural Tourism, which provides knowledgeable local guides to take visitors around the village, offering insights into the people’s way of life, cultural beliefs, and traditions. Cultural tourism is a way to contribute to sustainable tourism. While in the villages, you can enjoy African music and dances and participate in their daily activities. Don’t forget to support the locals by purchasing local handmade crafts as souvenirs or gifts for your loved ones.

Best Time to Visit

The best times to visit Mikumi National Park are during the two dry seasons: from June to September and from December to February when the weather conditions are favorable. During the dry seasons, animals tend to concentrate around permanent water points in the park, and the vegetation is not as thick, making it easier to spot wildlife. The best time for birding in Mikumi National Park is from November to April when migratory birds from North Africa and Europe are present in the park.

Getting There

Mikumi National Park is located 283 kilometers west of Dar es Salaam. You can fly into Nyerere International Airport and then drive to the park. Tourists visiting Mikumi National Park can also combine their safari with Nyerere National Park, located south of the park. The driving time from Dar es Salaam is roughly 4 hours via Morogoro.

Where to Stay

While at Mikumi National Park, tourists can stay in hotels such as Mikumi Safari Lodge, Camp Bastian Mikumi, Vuma Hills Tented Camp, Tan Swiss Lodge, Voyage Village, Camp Atupele, Mikumi Resort Hotel, Mikumi Nalika Tented Camp, and Angalia Tented Camp, among others.

Nyerere National Park

Nyerere National Park is one of Africa’s largest national parks, covering an area of 30,893 square kilometers. It is located in the southeastern part of Tanzania. The area was first gazetted as a professional hunting area by a German Governor of Tanganyika in 1896. The reserve was later renamed after a big game hunter named Frederick Selous, who later became a conservationist. In 2019, Selous Game Reserve was upgraded to a national park, and the name was changed to Nyerere National Park in honor of the first Tanzanian president, Julius Nyerere.

Nyerere National Park is unspoiled and pristine compared to other national parks in the country. The park is renowned for its population of wild dogs. During game drives, tourists can see wildlife such as lions, zebras, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, wildebeests, African wolves, hyenas, buffalos, crocodiles, impalas, greater kudus, cheetahs, and elephants, to mention a few.

Nyerere National Park is home to about 440 species of birds recorded, making it one of the top birding destinations in Tanzania. Bird enthusiasts can observe several species of birds while at the park, such as African spoonbill, yellow-billed stork, white-headed lapwing, thick-billed cuckoo, rock pratincole, racket-tailed roller, white-backed night heron, white-backed vulture, African skimmer, black-winged stilt, Bohm’s bee-eater, northern carmine bee-eater, broad-billed roller, palm nut vulture, pearl-spotted owlet, Pel’s fishing owl, brown-headed parrot, and many others. The best time for birding is November to April.

Nyerere National Park can be reached by road from Dar es Salaam or Arusha town. The distance and time it takes to reach the park will depend on the route and gate you choose to use. The park can also be accessed by air from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park, but there are several airstrips in the park, so you should choose one near your accommodation.

Where to Sleep

Tourists visiting Nyerere National Park can stay in lodges such as Serena Mivumo River Lodge, Momela Wildlife Lodge, Siwandu Camp, Kiba Point Selous, Beho Beho Tree House, Impala Camp, Selous Serena Camp, Sable Mountain Lodge, The Retreat Selous, Rufiji River Camp, The Mbuyu Safari Camp, The Siwandu Camp, Kananga Special Camp, and Azura Selous, to mention a few.

• Mikumi Safari

The ultimate guide to your next Mikumi Safari

Get to know mikumi.

Bisected by the main highway through southern Tanzania, underrated Mikumi is the country’s fourth-largest national park and most accessible safari destination.

The 3,230-square-kilometre Mikumi National Park, effectively a northern extension of the vast Selous Game Reserve, protects a combination of grassy floodplains and wooded hills flanked by the Uluguru and Udzungwa Mountains to the north and south. The park’s main game-viewing circuit crosses the expansive Mkata Floodplain, an area of open grassland interspersed with stands of acacia, Borassus and baobab trees. Referred to locally as the mini-Serengeti, the plains support large numbers of elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and antelope, including wildebeest, impala, reedbuck and eland. Lions and spotted hyenas are present in reasonable numbers – if you don’t see them by day you’ll certainly hear them at night.

The road separates the park in to two sections one is North West and the other is South East. Both sides have different ecosystem with little in common for example the north West its dominated by the open alluvial plains that are characterized by more Acacia trees and the large Boababs tree. The North West is more like the Tarangire National park and here in this region you get more African Elephants.

The plains have similar characteristics with the famous Serengeti national park that is found in the Northern part of  Tanzania.  If you like hiking then the Northern part of Mikumi national park will be the place to be during your Mikumi national park safari.

Mikumi National Park, Tanzania Off The Beaten Path

Updated December 2023, Mikumi National Park, Tanzania Off The Beaten Path was originally published in December 2020

Often skipped over by tourists who visit Tanzania, Mikumi National Park sees only a small fraction of the Tanzanian stars of the Serengeti, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and the island of Zanzibar.

Conveniently located about 5 hours drive from the capital of Dar es Salaam, Mikumi National Parks makes for a great weekend escape from the city. For road trippers, Mikumi is the perfect stop to break up the journey between Dar and Iringa.

Why Visit Mikumi?

Mikumi is known amongst safari-lovers for its bountiful wildlife, home to 4 of the African Big 5 (sorry, no rhinos here). More so, Mikumi National Park is known for its staggering array of small game and bird species. Over 400 different types of birds can be spotted here.

It should be no surprise that Mikumi offers the array of wildlife it does, the national park is contiguous with the Selous Game Reserve, the largest by land size in all of Africa.

A unique feature of Mikumi is their elephants, which tend to be noticeably smaller than other African elephants with much shorter tusks, making them less attractive to poachers.

Another great reason to head to Mikumi is that it is very much off the beaten path Tanzania. The park only gets a small fraction of the visitors who travel to Tanzania each year, compared to the 200,000 tourists that visit Serengeti National Park annually.

While the Serengeti is most definitely worth a visit, you won’t be dealing with the crowds (which we all know some can be quite obnoxious) here at Mikumi National Park. 

Finally, as mentioned before, Mikumi is conveniently located and quite easy to get to. A 5 hour drive along the A7 Highway that connects Tanzania and neighboring Zambia will bring you to Mikumi from the big city of Dar es Salaam. The A7 also connects Iringa and Mikumi in about 4 hours. 

How To Get To Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park is pretty easy to reach independently. Even for those short on time, you’ll pass through a part of the park along the A7 (if this is the case, keep your eyes peeled as you will almost certainly see some wildlife from the highway. The A7 will also give you epic views of the Udzungwa Mountains en route.

The drive will take around 5 hours to reach the town of Mikumi that is located about 15 kilometers outside the West Mikumi Gate. You can either opt to stay in Mikumi town and make trips into the park or plan to go camp in the park as part of your safari.

Busses make the haul from Dar es Salaam to the town of Mikumi daily. Good companies to book with include Sumry, Scandanavia, and Mbeya Express. 

It is recommended to make your bus booking at least a day in advance. Your accommodation in Mikumi (and likely in Dar as well) can make your bus reservations for you, all they need is a copy of your passport so there is no need to visit the bus station twice.

Mikumi-bound busses depart from Ubungo Station which is located about 11 kilometers northwest of the Dar es Salaam city center. Know that traffic in Dar can be hellacious and it can take 2 hours to make it across the city, so factor that in to make it in time for your departure. You can expect the journey from Ubungo Station to Mikumi by bus to take around 6 hours.

On A Package Safari

This is by far the easiest as your safari operator will arrange everything for you. Most Mikumi National Park safari companies will either pick you up on arrival at Dar es Salaam Airport or from your accommodation in Dar.

The Best Time To Visit Mikumi National Park

June to October is the best time to visit Mikumi as well as the remainder of southern Tanzania as it corresponds with the dry season. This is when skies are the clearest and wildlife is the easiest to spot.

The wet season falls from November to May, making wildlife viewing a bit more difficult, though birding is prime at this time. April and May are typically the worst and wettest months to visit Mikumi, but the park is still accessible even then.

Things To Do In Mikumi National Park

The main appeal to visiting Mikumi is for wildlife viewing. You can book packaged safaris that include transfers easily in advance or from Dar es Salaam.

For the DIY-style travelers out there, you can easily arrange a Mikumi safari from the town of Mikumi on arrival. Ask your accommodation in Mikumi to help you arrange a safari to get the best price. If you book a safari in advance of your arrival, you can expect prices to be a bit higher, around is $200-400 per day. 

There are walking safaris on offer in Mikumi National Park, which are quite a unique experience (I’ve gotten to do one in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia and highly recommend going on one at least once). Walking safaris in Mikumi start at about $20 USD for four hours.

The area north-west is characterized by the alluvial plain of the river basin Mkata . The vegetation of this area consists of savannahdotted with acacia, baobab, tamarinds, and some rare palm. In this area, at the furthest from the road, there are spectacular rock formations of the mountains Rubeho and Uluguru. The southeast part of the park is less rich in wildlife, and not very accessible.

The fauna includes many species characteristic of the African savannah. According to local guides at Mikumi, chances of seeing a lion who climbs a tree trunk is larger than in Manyara. Other animals in the park are elephants, zebras, impala, eland, kudu, black antelope, baboons, wildebeests and buffaloes. At about 5 km from the north of the park, there are two artificial pools inhabited by hippos. More than 400 different species of birds also inhabit the park.

The Mikumi belongs to the circuit of the wildlife parks of Tanzania, less visited by international tourists and better protected from the environmental point of view. Most of the routes that cross the Mikumi proceed in the direction of the  Ruaha National Park  and the Selous Game Reserve . The recommended season for visiting the park is the dry season between May and November, warm weather and beautiful sites that are a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The History

Established in 1964, the original area of Mikumi National Park was 1,070 km2 but was later expanded in 1975 to encompass 3,230 km2, making it the ninth largest national park in Tanzania. It is a crucial part of a vast ecosystem in the region, along with Nyerere National Park (Selous), and serves as a refuge for a variety of wildlife, such as elephants, buffalos, wild dogs, and zebras.

The majestic animals embark on seasonal journeys between the northern area of Nyerere National Park and Mikumi National Park, providing a captivating show for visitors on a Mikumi safari to witness the natural rhythm of nature.

Mikumi National Park is closely connected to the nearby village that shares its name and is located just to the west along the Dar es Salaam to Iringa highway. Both the village and the park are named after the plentiful presence of the (Borassus spp) palm trees known as “Mikumi”, which used to thrive in the area, although the village no longer shows any visible signs of the palm stems. Situated within a crescent-shaped embrace of tall mountains and foothills, the park encompasses the vast floodplain of the Mkata river, creating a feeling of peaceful balance. In the distance to the east, the towering 2,743-meter massif of the Uluguru ranges looms, while the rugged Vidunda mountains decorate the southwestern landscape, adding to the park’s natural charm and providing a beautiful backdrop for unforgettable adventures.

Mikumi National Park’s scenic views

• Mkata Flood Plains
• The Hippo Pools
• Miombo Woodlands
• The Mountains

Mikumi National Park showcases the immense wilderness of Tanzania, featuring a variety of landscapes that are both beautiful and diverse. At the core of Mikumi National Park are the Mkata Flood Plains, an expansive grassland similar to the well-known Serengeti Plains. This particular area is arguably the most striking landscape in the park, providing a stage for the captivating drama of wildlife. In the wet season, the plains of Mikumi National Park are vibrant and lush, adorned with wildflowers and winding water bodies. As the season transitions to dry, the scenery becomes a golden expanse that glistens in the African sunlight. The dynamic backdrop provides a perfect setting for abundant buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, and elephants that gather to feed and drink. The wide, expansive Mkata Flood Plains offer great opportunities for observing wildlife in Mikumi National Park, as the few acacia trees offer minimal concealment for the animals. In this area, you may witness a lioness hunting her prey across the open terrain or see the graceful giraffe indulging in the leaves of the tall trees.

Just a short distance from the main entrance gate, you can find one of Mikumi’s most charming attractions: the Hippo Pools. True to their name, these natural waterholes are a gathering place for hippos, offering a unique chance to observe these large animals up close as they lounge and frolic in the muddy waters. However, it’s not only the hippos that make this area special. The surrounding landscape is lush and often visited by sunbathing crocodiles, water birds searching for food along the water’s edge, and occasionally, cautious antelopes stopping by for a drink. The Hippo Pools create a mini ecosystem, a separate world within the dry savannah of the park.

Shifting away from the flat expanses and water bodies, Mikumi National Park transforms into extensive miombo woodlands. These woodlands, found in Mikumi national park, are characterized by a mixture of deciduous trees, mainly species like Brachystegia, Julbernardia, and Isoberlinia, and are less dense than typical tropical forests, allowing light to penetrate through to the forest floor. For bird enthusiasts, the miombo woodlands are a heavenly sight. Filled with a impressive variety of bird species, the woodlands in Mikumi national park come to life with the sounds and colorful feathers of inhabitants such as the bateleur eagle, lilac-breasted roller, and the elusive African pitta. This scenery offers a different pace to the safari experience in Mikumi National Park, urging visitors to slow down, gaze upwards, and admire the variety of avian life.

The scenery of Mikumi National Park is heightened by the presence of mountain ranges. The Uluguru Mountains in the north and the Lumango range in the southeast provide a varied and dramatic backdrop to the park. These highlands play a key role in shaping the microclimates within the park, which in turn helps to support a wide range of flora and fauna. Visitors can take a break from traditional safaris by exploring the foothills on foot, offering opportunities to encounter smaller wildlife, diverse vegetation, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard that thrives in the rocky terrain.

The Vuma Hills, located in the southeastern part of Mikumi, are a lesser-known landscape within the park. Unlike the open plains, this area is characterized by dense vegetation and cooler temperatures, creating a distinct contrast. The hills offer a secluded retreat for those seeking a deeper immersion into the wilderness, allowing visitors to quietly observe less commonly seen animals like kudus, bushbucks, and the occasional sable antelope. Additionally, the hills provide a place for introspection and solitude, offering sweeping views of the park below — an ideal location for a sundowner after a day of exploration.

Mikumi National Park’s Wildlife

Mikumi National Park is known for its abundant population of elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, and African wild dogs, placing it in Tanzania’s esteemed group that accommodates the four members of the “Big Five”. However, besides these well-known species, Mikumi features a wide variety of animals that are exciting to watch.

Mikumi National Park is known for its large population of elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, and African wild dogs, placing it on Tanzania’s distinguished list of areas that are home to the “Big Five”. However, in addition to these iconic species, Mikumi also features an exceptionally varied collection of animals that are a delight to watch.

The Elephants

Majestic elephant herds are a common sight, often found roaming the Mkata floodplain or bathing in the park’s numerous water bodies. Observing these gentle giants as they interact with one another is a truly mesmerizing experience.

The Predators

Lions are often observed resting on the park’s rugged cliffs or hunting for unsuspecting prey. Meanwhile, leopards, which are more difficult to spot, can occasionally be seen lying on tree branches. The African wild dogs, uncommon in many other parks, are frequently encountered in the less crowded sections of Mikumi National Park.

The Grazers and Browsers

Zebra herds are ubiquitous on the plains, and their well-defined social structures make for interesting observations. The park also hosts significant numbers of wildebeest, giraffes, and various antelope species, including impala, eland, kudu, and sable, each contributing to the complex tapestry of Mikumi’s ecosystem.

The Smaller Denizens

While Mikumi’s smaller animals may not be as widely recognized, they are equally captivating. The park’s warthogs, bush pigs, and mongooses provide delightful sightings, and its diverse insect, reptile, and amphibian population further contribute to the fascinating variety of wildlife.

Bird Species

With over 400 bird species recorded in Mikumi national park, makes it a paradise for bird watchers. Its varied habitats, from the acacia woodlands to the wetlands, offer a fantastic opportunity to spot both resident and migrant birds. Don’t forget your binoculars and camera as you join us in experiencing these amazing creatures.

Raptors and Ground Birds

The park is famous for its predatory birds, such as martial eagles, bateleur eagles, and African hawk-eagles. Additionally, ground birds like the Kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the world, and the graceful secretary bird are frequently seen.

Water Birds

The wetlands are a magnet for a diverse array of aquatic birds, including African spoonbills, yellow-billed storks, and a range of kingfishers and herons. The pools where the hippos reside are especially ideal for bird-watching, with the extra perk of being able to observe hippos in their natural habitat.

Woodland and Forest Birds

The wetlands are a popular destination for a diverse range of aquatic birds, including African spoonbills, yellow-billed storks, as well as different types of kingfishers and herons. The hippo pools are especially great areas for bird watching, with the additional opportunity to observe hippos in their native habitat.

Migrant Birds

In the season of migration, avifauna native to Europe and Asia join the local bird population, contributing to its diversity and offering a new viewpoint for those who visit the area regularly.

Ideal Timing for a Visit

Mikumi national park, which is one of Tanzania’s parks that can be visited all year round, is separated by the Morogoro-Mbeya Highway for around 50 kilometers. To have the best chance of seeing wildlife, it is advisable to go during the dry season, from June to October, when the reduced foliage and shorter grass make it easier to spot animals. This period is particularly great for game drives as animals tend to gather near water sources, providing excellent viewing opportunities. The brief rainy season, from December to February, still offers a good time to visit as the vegetation remains sparse, although some roads may become slippery. Moreover, the park’s heavy rainfall months of March to May and November attract migratory birds, making it an ideal time for bird watching. Explore the wonders of Mikumi national park across its varied seasons.

Arriving at Mikumi National Park

The typical starting point for our journey to Mikumi National Park is from Dar es Salaam, with Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) serving as the point of entry. The distance from DAR to Mikumi is approximately 280 kilometers, and the travel time along the Dar es Salaam – Mbeya highway is about 4 to 5 hours.

The open horizons and abundant wildlife draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti plains, but its location close to Tanzania's largest city makes Mikumi easier accessible. The park has a great variety of animals: elephants, buffalos, zebras and giraffes are relatively easy to spot, as well as lions mating and many hippos in the resident hippo pool!

Day 4 - 5: Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is the third largest national park in Tanzania. It lies along the Great Ruaha River, is known for its large elephant population, and is a true paradise for birdwatchers with over 570 species. Besides, y ou might catch a glimpse of lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, elands, sable antelopes, jackals, or the rare African wild dog. Game drives are special, as you drive through an untouched ecosystem in this relatively quiet but stunning park!

Today you discover the jungle, savannah and river sides of the vast Nyerere National Park (previously the Selous Game Reserve) - an amazing place for game drives. This park in southern Tanzania has fewer visitors than the north ern parks but boasts elephants, hippos, crocodiles , lions, leopards, giraffes, the endangered rhino, the rare African wild dog and more. It's the second largest park in the country after Serengeti National Park, so be prepared to cover some miles!

A boat safari on the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park is both relaxing and adventurous! The boat takes you over the river and to nearby lakes, allowing you to spot many animals that come to the water’s edge. Very common are giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, kudus and warthogs. Sometimes, also bathing elephants or crocodiles can be seen, and always, the many bird species sound their voices. The trip includes a picnic lunch on the shores of one of the lakes.

This is your last day! Today you fly to Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar Es Salaam, from where you will catch your flight home. Having second thoughts? Then don't hesitate to extend your holiday to one of Tanzania's paradise islands such as Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia!
