Africa Wonders safari Tanzania- Mikumi National Park

Mikumi National Park

Size: 3,230 sq km (1,250 sq miles)

Location: 283 km (175 miles) West from Dar es Salaam, North of the Selous Game Reserve and en route to Udzungwa and Ruaha.

Mikumi National Park is the fourth-largest park in Tanzania, and part of a much larger ecosystem centred on the vast Selous Game Reserve. It's located in the northern border of Africa's biggest game reserve, the Selous, and is transected by the surfaced road between Dar es Salaam (Dar) and Iringa. Mikumi 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. The park is also bordered by Uluguru Mountains in the north and Rubeho Mountains to the south-east.

During a safari in Mikumi the main feature is the Mkata River Flood Plain. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centre piece of Mikum, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. Mikumi was extended to the border with Selous in 1975. It was gazetted in 1964 during the construction of Morogoro- Iringa highway. Mikumi shares the eco-system with the Selous Game Reserve and Kilombero Game Controlled Area. With 3,230 square kilometers coverage Mikumi safaris are a well-known wildlife destination.

Wildlife

The Mkata River is reliable for sightings of powerful crocodiles and hippos in the floodplains during the rain season. The greater kudu and sable antelope haunt the miombo-covered foothills of the mountains that rise from the park's borders. Wildlife safaris to Mikumi are well-known for the population of elephants, giraffes buffaloes, zebras, elands and wildebeest. Predators include, leopards, wild hunting dogs and black-backed jackal. Mikumi also has more than 400 bird species such as colourful common residents like the lilac-breasted roller, yellow-throated longclaw and bateleur eagle.

How To Get There

A good surfaced road connects Mikumi to Dar es Salaam via Morogoro, a roughly 4 hour drive. Also road connections to Udzungwa Mountains and Ruaha National Parks and (dry season only) the Selous. Charter a flight from Dar, Arusha, or the Selous. Local buses run from Dar to the park headquarters, where game drives can be arranged.

What To Do

Mikunin game drives and guided walks. Visit nearby the Udzungwa Mountains, Ruaha and the Selous .

When To Go

Accessible year round.

Accommodation

Two safari lodges, two luxury tented safari camps, three campsites. Guest houses in Mikumi town on the park border.

Ruaha National Park by Africa Wonders Safari

Africa Wonders Safari - Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park

Size: 10,300 sq km (3,980 sq miles), Tanzania's 2nd biggest park.

Location: Central Tanzania, 128km (80 miles) West of Iringa.

The wide distances of Ruaha National Park have a drama and atmosphere quite unlike any other park in Tanzania. Covering 12,950sq km, Ruaha is the second largest national park in Tanzania after the Serengeti. Ruaha safari game viewing starts the moment the plane touches down.

 It is an ancient place; its hilly distances are punctuated with distended elephant-battered girths of massive baobabs that live for a thousand years, and the combination of ochre-red earth, pale russet grasses and parched paths of wide sand rivers fulfill images of ancient African landscapes.

 Ruaha's unusually high diversity of animals is a function of its location, which is transitional to the acacia savannah of East Africa and the miombo woodland belt of Southern Africa.

Second only to Katavi National Park, Ruaha is an aura of untrammelled wilderness, but far more accessible. It protects a vast tract of the rugged, semi-arid bush country that characterises central Tanzania. Its lifeblood is the Great Ruaha River, which courses along the eastern boundary in a flooded torrent during the height of the rains, but dwindling thereafter to a scattering of precious pools surrounded by a blinding sweep of sand and rock. The fantastically unspoilt reaches of the park are a result of its location, requiring an expensive flight or a long Ruaha safari drive to reach it. Despite recent new alternatives for staying here, Ruaha remains underdeveloped with major tracts still largely inaccessible.

Wildlife

the Great Ruaha River, is the centre piece of wildlife safaris to Ruaha, characterised by harbours of impala, waterbuck and other antelopes that risk their life for a sip of life-sustaining water. The impressive array of large predators is boosted by 20-plus lions, cheetahs, both striped and spotted hyena, as well as several conspicuous packs of the highly endangered African wild dog. Grant's gazelle and lesser kudu also occur here, alongside the miombo-associated sable and roan antelope, and one of East Africa largest populations of greater kudu. A similar duality is noted in the checklist of 450 birds: the likes of crested barbet, yellow-and-black bird occur in Ruaha alongside other species such as the yellow-collared lovebird and ashy starling.

How To Get There

Scheduled and/or charter flights from Dar es Salaam, Selous, Arusha, Iringa and Mbeya. Year-round road access through Iringa from Dar (about 10 hours) via Mikumi or from Arusha via Dodoma.

What To Do

Day walking or hiking safaris through untouched bush and Ruaha safari game drives. Stone age ruins at Isimila, near Iringa, 120 km (75 miles) away, one of Africa's most important historical sites .

When To Go

For predators and large mammals, dry season (mid-May-December); bird-watching, lush scenery and wildflowers, wet season (January-April). The male greater kudu is most visible in June, the breeding season.

Accommodation

Riverside safari lodge; three dry season tented camps; self-catering bandas, two campsites.
