Top 5 Best Mikumi National park lodges

The wide sceneries and diverse wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centerpiece of Mikumi, are typically compared to those of the more renowned Serengeti Plains. At the end of the Dry season, the ponds, especially the hippo pool, become a hotspot for African wildlife, including elephant and buffalo herds visiting these areas throughout the day.

The best time to watch wildlife in Mikumi is between late June and late October (the Dry season). During this season, vegetation is sparser and animals congregate around waterholes. The end of the Dry season (September and October) is very interesting as vast herds of animals congregate at the last watering holes to drink. As a result of the area’s diversity of wildlife, there are various Mikumi accommodations , but here are the highest-rated Mikumi safari lodges .

One of the best lodges in Mikumi national park, Vuma Hills is a quiet getaway from the heat of a day’s game drive, hidden in the forests of the Vuma Mountains, with views of the Mkata Plains of the Mikumi beneath.

The sixteen tents are comfortably equipped, so sleeping under canvas at Vuma is a vast expression of the discomfort commonly associated with camps. With a pleasant wooden terrace in front and a private bathroom in the back, there is nothing more that could be expected.

One of the best Mikumi hotels, Stanley’s Kopje is nestled on a rocky kopje offering 360-degree panoramas of the Mikumi wilderness, while the 12 tents are scattered around the lower rim of the hill and provide breathtaking views of the plains.

A nearby waterhole attracts wildlife beyond the view of the Camp, and the whole Mwanamboga area is thought to be the best place in the park to see wildlife. The Camp is named after the explorer Morten Stanley, who tested an expedition across Mikumi National Park and passed the Camp’s area.
