How to go
Safaris to Mikumi National Park, as a rule, start from Dar es Salaam, and your place of entry for the nation is Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR). As a rule, your tour administrator will lift you from the airport and handle all further ground activities or residential flights.

Mikumi is a four-hour drive away from Dar es Salaam and you can visit it as a weekend escape. Nevertheless, a great many people visit Mikumi ...
... in transit to Selous or Ruaha, the more mainstream stops in southern Tanzania.

The expectations in store
Since the fulfillment of the cleared street interfacing the park entryway with Dar es Salaam, Mikumi National Park has been scheduled to turn into a hotspot for the travel industry in Tanzania. Most guests come to Mikumi National Park intending to recognize the 'Big Five', and they are consistently not baffled. Hippo pools give close access to the mud-adoring beasts, and bird viewing along the conduits is especially fulfilling. The park fringes the Selous Game Reserve and Udzungwa National Park, and the three areas make a changed and lovely safari circuit.

In excess of 400 bird species have been recorded, with such bright regular inhabitants as the lilac-breasted roller, yellow-throated longclaw and battler eagle joined by a large group of European transients during the rainy season. Hippos are the star fascination of the pair of pools arranged 5 kilometers north of the primary entry, bolstered by a regularly changing cast of water birds.

When to go
The best time for a fantasy safari in Mikumi National Park with Uhuru Travels & Tours Ltd is between June and October, in the dry season, when the fields have huge crowds of elephant and ungulates bunching to the final water sources where you can see rare antelopes in the close by deciduous forests. Clear skies make for splendid days however; temperatures can drop around evening time in higher elevations, so a light fleece is suggested if wandering into the lower regions in the early morning. The wet season will see the speeding up of the calving season as the downpours restore the vegetation.
