位于坦桑尼亚莫罗戈罗地区的米库米国家公园(Mikumi National Park)是该国规模第四大的国家公园,覆盖约 3,230 平方公里。公园距离达累斯萨拉姆约 283 公里,通过铺设良好的公路可达,因此成为进入南部古生态线路的重要一站。
米库米国家公园地处坦桑尼亚东南部草原区,北靠乌卢古鲁山脉(Uluguru Mountains),西邻乌东瓜山脉(Udzungwa Mountains),其所处地貌被称作“马卡塔洪泛平原”(Mkata Floodplain)及稀树草原相结合区。公园交通便利:从达累斯萨拉姆自驾约 4–5 小时可达,适合安排1–2 晚的野生动物游猎。
米库米的地形包括开阔的洪泛草原、散布的金合欢树与猴面包树(baobab)、以及偶见的小山丘与岩石结构。在这样的环境中,野生动物得以自由漫游。
最佳时间通常为旱季(约 6–10 月),此时植被稀疏、水源集中,野生动物聚集,观察更为容易。雨季(11 月至翌年 5 月)较潮湿,道路可能受影响,但植被翠绿、鸟类活跃。
Linda Buceniece Nice small national park, if u are lucky u can see lions, elephants, antelopes, crocodiles, buffalo, hippopotamus, leopards, zebras, wild pigs, baboons, other monkeys, lot of birds, lizards etc….the crowds in the mornings, accommodation must be booked earlier - can be full.
Breanna Macleod Amazing park! So much to see and explore. However, I just wanted to let other tourists know that it is illegal for the tour operators to leave the road. When we went, multiple tour operators left the path to chase a lion. It was awful to witness as the lion was clearly agitated by it. Upon discussing the situation further with our amazing tour guide (who stayed on the path), we learned that if caught (which can be done through tourists taking photos of the safari vehicles, or by being caught by a park ranger) the tour guide can be banned from the park for a year, which they of course don't want. The tour guides do this not because they want to, but because they feel pressure from tourists (especially from tourists from Zanzibar who book a one day safari- don't do this- most of the animals are active in the mornings and evenings anyway!). If you want a guaranteed sighting, go to a zoo. Stay on the path and enjoy the amazing nature, there are so many close up opportunities to see the wildlife while being respectful to both the tour guides and animals!!
Daiva Garneliene Incredible experience to be so close to wild animals. Fantastic rangers! They explain you a lot, answer all questions and at the same time show you wild animas without interfering with their lives. Big thanks to them! 🙂
Rupesh Surana Mikumi National Park was a fantastic surprise! While it may not be as famous as other Tanzanian parks, it offered excellent wildlife viewing with plenty of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a glimpse of lions (consider mentioning specific animals you saw). The park was less crowded than others, making for a more intimate safari experience (if applicable). Tips: We recommend [mention your accommodation type, e.g., staying at a tented camp] for a truly immersive experience. Be sure to bring binoculars for better wildlife spotting. The dry season (June to October) is generally considered the best time to visit for wildlife viewing. Overall: Mikumi is a great choice for travelers seeking a less crowded safari experience with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. We highly recommend it!
Kabita Bharati It's beautiful to have a wild experience. It would be great if they offer binoculars to tourists to observe the animals that are far away. Wild buffaloes, vultures, beautiful birds, zebras, etc. Our guide was humble and explained a lot of the basics of wildlife. I thought i would see more wildlife. But it was a beautiful experience.
