Mikumi National Park is in the Morogoro region of Tanzania, about 320 km from Dar es Salaam, on the Southern Circuit of Tanzania. It covers 3,230 square kilometres and is the fourth-largest national park in the country.
The fauna includes many species characteristic of the African savannah. According to local guides at Mikumi, the chances of seeing a lion climbing a tree trunk are higher than in Manyara, which is famous for being one of the few places where lions exhibit this behaviour. The park also contains a subspecies of giraffe that biologists consider the link between the Masai giraffe and the reticulated, or Somali, giraffe. Other animals in the park include elephants, zebras, impala, eland, kudu, black antelope, baboons, wildebeests, and buffaloes.
The vegetation of this area consists of a savannah dotted with acacia, baobab, tamarinds, and some rare palms. Farther from the road, there are spectacular rock formations in the Rubeho and Uluguru mountains. The southeast part of the park is less rich in wildlife and is not very accessible.
