National Park:
Get to see the open horizons and
abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular
centerpiece of Mikumi, which draw frequent comparisons
to the more famous Serengeti Plains.
Lions
survey their grassy kingdom – and the zebra, wildebeest,
impala and buffalo herds that migrate across it – from
the flattened tops of termite mounds, or sometimes,
during the rains, from perches high in the trees.
Giraffes forage in the isolated acacia stands that
fringe the Mkata River, islets of shade favoured also by
Mikumi's elephants.
Criss-crossed by a good
circuit of game-viewing roads, the Mkata Floodplain is
perhaps the most reliable place in Tanzania for
sightings of the powerful eland, the world’s largest
antelope. The equally impressive greater kudu and sable
antelope haunt the miombo-covered foothills of the
mountains that rise from the park’s borders.
More than 400 bird species have been recorded,
with such colourful common residents as the
lilac-breasted roller, yellow-throated longclaw and
bateleur eagle joined by a host of European migrants
during the rainy season. Hippos are the star attraction
of the pair of pools situated 5km north of the main
entrance gate, supported by an ever-changing cast of
waterbirds.
