Beautiful, but I don't understand why a main road is crossing the National Park?

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.

I was in Dar Es Saalam on business, and had one day for a safari. I was able to see a large amount of wildlife at Mikumi National Park. My guide was familiar with the park, animal behaviors, and provided many entertaining and educational anecdotes. The ability to get close look at so many large iconic animals was amazing. Amazing number of animals for a smaller park. Well worth the trip.

Sleeping lions, mating lions, tree lions! A gorgeous leopard, and every other animal we could hope to see. Plus, sleeping in the park cabins, and being woken by a giraffe eating the leaves outside our window at 2 am. added to so many memorable moments.

We were lucky, for 1 day we saw almost all the animals that live in the park. Excellent guide Bob - the most daring of the guides, drove us to the car to the lioness almost immediately. We arrived at 9 am, at 13.00 we had lunch, and after that we continued the safari until 4pm. Lunch cost $ 5 per person. The road from Dar-es-Salam was very dangerous, a lot of wagons with cargoes, our driver many times went to a meeting and miraculously we managed to avoid a collision. This part of the safari - very spoiled the general impression. On the way back, the gasoline ran out and the driver did not have any money with him, he asked us to throw off him for gasoline $ 5. Nobody returned them, of course.
