Introducing Mikumi National Park
Mikumi National Park is easily accessible from Dar es Salaam and is a good destination if you don’t have much time but want to see wildlife.

Entry fees are US$20/5 per adult/child per day. The park is best visited in the dry season. For camp-site bookings, contact the senior park warden (262 0498).
The park has four ordinary camp sites, and a special camp site near Choga Wale in the north.
Fox’s Safari Camp (0748 237422, 0744 237422; www.tanzaniasafaris.info; s/d all-inclusive US$280/470; ) is set well away from the road on a rocky outcrop in a good wildlife-viewing area in Mikumi’s far north. Walks and fly camping can be arranged.
The best budget way to visit the park is on one of the frequent special deals offered by Coastal Travels and other Dar es Salaam-based tour operators. Self-drive safaris from Dar es Salaam are a good option for Mikumi, which is about four hours from the capital by road.
