Small park and not really my favorite spots. Wildlife can be scarce like birds. Beware of Tzetze flies

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.

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

Swirls of opaque mist hide the advancing dawn. The first shafts of sun colour 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.

We have stopped in Mikumi 2 times on our way to/from Ruaha. It is a beautiful park, we probably encountered a little bit less of the wildlife than in other parks, but this could be due to seasonal changes and animal movement.

Too many people, not many big cats.

I would not advise as a final destination, but it is good along with Selous and Ruaha which offer great river activity.

Compared to Tarangire and Serengeti I can not give more than average to Mikumi. The tarmac road crossing the park also takes away some of the bush vibe.
