Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park, located in southeastern Tanzania, is the fourth largest national park in the country, covering an area of approximately 3,230 square kilometers. It is part of the larger Selous ecosystem and lies in a region of diverse landscapes, from floodplains and grasslands to miombo woodlands.

The park is often compared to the Serengeti due to its flat plains, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Its proximity to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, makes it a convenient and popular destination for both short and extended safaris.

Best Time to Visit

The Best Time To Visit Mikumi National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, animals are more concentrated around water sources, making wildlife viewing easier and more predictable. The dry season also offers pleasant weather with lower humidity. The wet season, from November to May, brings lush greenery and abundant birdlife, but access to some areas may be restricted due to heavy rains and muddy roads.

Finally, Mikumi National Park offers a rich blend of wildlife experiences, stunning landscapes, and diverse activities, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers in Tanzania.
