Mikumi National Park, a national park in
Mikumi, near
Morogoro,
Tanzania. The park was established in 1964, currently covers an area of 3230 km² and is the fourth largest in the country. 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 vegetation of this area consists of savannah dotted with
acacia,
baobab,
tamarinds, and some rare palm. In this area, at the furthest from the road, there are spectacular rock formations of the mountains
Rubeho and
Uluguru. The southeast part of the park is less rich in wildlife, and not very accessible.
