The park is regarded as one of the less frequented national parks by the average tourist, and therefore allows for more intimate game viewing. As a result the road infrastructure and services is steadily being improved as visiting tourists increase. However this really does not limit your game viewing as game is plenty.
Animal spotting in Mikumi is fine throughout the year, but the best time is during the dry season, from June to October. The vegetation is not as thick and animals tend to hang around the waterholes to drink.
Wildlife in this national park includes elephant, giraffe, buffalo, Burchell’s zebra, sable, eland, Liechtenstein’s hartebeest, lion, leopard, spotted hyena, and jackal. You can also find yellow baboons near Kiboga, at the southern part of the park.
