Mikumi National Park covers an area of 3,230 square kilometres. It is characterized by open grasslands, acacia forests, and the rugged Mkata River floodplain. The park's topography provides diverse habitats, from the lush mountain ranges that border the park to the arid flat plains that dominate its center. Mikumi experiences a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, divided into the dry season (June to October) and the wet season (November to May).
The Best Time to Visit Mikumi National Park is during the dry season from June to October. During these months, vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot as animals gather around water sources. The weather is also more pleasant for game drives. The wet season brings lush scenery and the arrival of migratory birds, appealing to bird watchers, although some roads may be impassable due to rains.
Lions: Often seen lounging with their prides or hunting on the Mkata Floodplain.
Mikumi National Park is one of the most accessible parks in Tanzania. It is about a 4-hour drive from Dar es Salaam along a well-maintained highway.
Game Drives: Explore the park in a 4x4 vehicle, which offers a chance to see the diverse wildlife, from powerful elephants to graceful gazelles.
There is drama in Tanzania’s geography: the rolling plains of the Serengeti, snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro and the lush forests of the Ngorongoro Crater have all been recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
