Mikumi National Park abuts the northern border of Africa's biggest game reserve - the Selous - and is transected by the surfaced road between Dar es Salaam and Iringa. It is thus the most accessible part of a 75,000 square kilometre (47,000 square mile) tract of wilderness that stretches east almost as far as the Indian Ocean. The landscape of Mikumi is often compared to that of the Serengeti. The road that crosses the park divides it into two areas with partially distinct environments. The area north-west is characterized by the alluvial plain of the river basin Mkata. The southeast part of the park is less rich in wildlife, and not very accessible.

The Mikumi national park also offers a great chance to meet various animal species. Out of which few mostly spotted are; wildebeest, zebra, lion, elephant, impala, hippos, giraffe, warthog, bison, wildebeest, waterbuck and eland. You can also spot some iconic species like; crocodile, screen reptile and python.
