Mikumi Tan-Swiss Lodge

Mikumi Tan-Swiss Lodge — Simple Comfort Near the Park Boundary

Mikumi Tan-Swiss Lodge is a mid-range lodge set 1.2 miles from the Mikumi National Park boundary — 15 minutes from the main park entrance gate — with a swimming pool, air conditioning and satellite TV. It is an honest, practical Southern Tanzania base that reviews describe as "nice place, simple, nice with pool, good food and good breakfast" and "clean accommodation, super friendly people."

The lodge is particularly popular with families for its pool, and with travellers transiting between Dar es Salaam and the Southern Highlands who need a comfortable, clean one-night stop. The proximity to the park is its primary asset; the facilities are functional rather than atmospheric. Staff are consistently praised for friendliness and helpfulness — the team organised free pick-up from the bus stop for one reviewer arriving by public transport.

Accommodation

Chalet-style rooms with air conditioning, satellite TV, private balcony and en-suite bathrooms with shower. The pool and surrounding area are well maintained and popular in the afternoon. Restaurant and bar on site. Free WiFi and parking.

Activities

Game drives in Mikumi National Park (15 minutes to the main gate). Day trips to Udzungwa Mountains NP. Transport connections to Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and beyond. The lodge can help arrange Mikumi game drives.
