Is a nice park to visit in a weekend from Dar es Salaam. But if you come in Tanzaniafor game viewing, you cannot lose other parks much more exciting.

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.

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.

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.

Great bang for your buck park and easy to access from Dar es Salaam. The highway passing through the park is strange, but for a budget price you are potentially able to see some predators and herds passing over from Selous.
