Mikumi National Park

Good and nice park with good wild life standard

A good park with enough wildlife to see. Very natural and not to crowded with a lot of tourist of cars.

We encountered ellies, hippos, and lot of of other game. sadly we couldn´t see any cats, but we had only one day there. The birdlife was crazy.

It is a small park too close to the human populated areas and the big road that crosses it spoils the great environment of the Morogoro area.

Although the main road inland from Dar runs through it, it is not hard to get away into remoter areas. Watch out for tree-climbing lions. The camp site is basic but a wonderful place to enjoy the sounds of the night.

On the way to Zambia, the main roads is passing through the Mikumi park.

Off beaten tack and great for a quick safari if you are in or near Dar es salaam

I stayed and always stay at Vumi Hills tented camp in Mikumi, 3 miles off main road, clean and excellent food .Tented camping from ordinary to luxurious rooms or tents.

Perfect Ten

To avoid the traffic jams of Ngorongoro and the other parks around Arusha, head further afield to Mikumi. I've visited twice and have seen only three other tourists there. Everyone there--rangers, hoteliers, tour guides--is more laid back and informal, they'll treat you more like a friend than a client. In addition to the animals (they've got them all), the drive down from Arusha via Dodoma or better yet via Iringa is a great experience.
