 The Mikumi National Park
The Mikumi National Park is Tanzania´s fourth largest park, sitting astride the Tanzam Highway 286 km west of
Dar es Salaam. Framed by the Uluguru Mountains to the northeast, the Udzungwa Mountains to the southwest and the Selous Game Reserve to the south, the park itself consists mainly of miombo woodland. Most of the game
viewing is done on the Mkata floodplain area which is a mainly open grassland and swamp area.
Sightings of impala, buffalo, giraffe, migratory herds of zebra and wildebeest are common, also elephants are
common throughout the park when the resident population is boosted by migrants from the Selous Game Reserve. Predators are much more elusive, but one may be lucky and
find lions, leopards hyenas or black- backed jackals or very lucky and maybe one will see wild dogs. Mikumi´s birdlife is over four hundred species recorded to date.
