Introduction
Having completed a long drive from the south of Tanzania (Lindi) the previous day we set off to Mikumi National Park the following day. Mikumi is a national park easily reached from Tanzania's capital Dar-es-Salaam. Tours do run from Dar-es-Salaam to Mikumi and if you've not been able to make the big game park its worth trying your luck.
We went during the wet season which means that the grass is lush green and long making it difficult to see Lions especially but great from gazing animals.
The journey to Mikumi
The journey from Dar to Mikumi is a long one. Its a 4-6 hour drive through central tanzania on a road that cuts through the country. You will no doubt have to start early to reach Mikumi at a reasonable time. The midpoint of the journey is around Morogoro. From there you have another couple of hours. When you site animal around the road you know you're around Mikumi. The road from Morogoro continues southwest to Iringa and the park is either side of the road.
