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.

Great park, just feels a little bit like an open zoo.

Superb views and wildlife. It did feel a little bit like an open zoo as there were certain pathways to follow and not allowed offroad, even some well defined tracks were off limits. It made getting close to the animals to get a good pic difficult. However, there were a lot of animals and we were even lucky to see two lionesses on the road! We paid the tour operator so not sure how much it costs for entry. Worth it if you have limited time in Dar Es Salam as it can be done as a day tour opposed to 2-3 day tours for other parks.

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

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.

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.

Our 2 day safari was beyond our expectations. We knew that March was not the best time of the year for a safari but we were lucky with the weather and therefore saw all the wildlife. The scenery at Mikumi was outstanding. Our accommodation at Mikumi safari lodge was of a high standard and the staff could not do enough for us. Our guide Rama spoke good english and was a wizz at finding lions.

scenic beauty is less than other parks; to much grassland

Always Enjoy Mikumi, it's a great way to start the safari tours, depends on which time of year you go as to how many animals seen. We always go September/Oct., they seem the best times as the water holes are visited more.

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.
