Mikumi National Park Travel Tips

01
Where is Mikumi National Park
  • Mikumi National Park marks the northern edge of the Selous Game Reserve, one of the largest wildlife reserves globally. This vast area enables animal herds to roam freely over large distances without being restricted by fences or borders.

02
When is the best time to visit
  • Animal spotting in Mikumi is fabulous throughout the year. The best time is during the dry season, from November to February when the vegetation is a little less dense and animals tend to frequent the waterholes to drink.

03
How do I get to Mikumi National Park
  • We offer day safaris to Mikumi! Flights from Zanzibar, transport, park fees and lunch are included in the price.
