Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see the Big Five in Mikumi?
You can see four of the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, and buffaloes. Rhinos are not present in Mikumi National Park.
Is 2 days enough time for Mikumi?
Yes. Because the park is compact and wildlife concentrates around the main floodplain, 2 days gives you plenty of time to cover the primary game-viewing circuits.
What should I pack for a short Mikumi safari?
Bring lightweight clothes, sunglasses, sunblock, a light jacket for early morning drives, and your camera with a good zoom lens.
