Mikumi Wildlife Camp
Mikumi Wildlife Camp, also sometimes referred to as Kikoboga Lodge, is a large establishment situated adjacent to the main park headquarters in the centre of the reserve, just three hundred metres off the busy TanZam highway. The whole lodge looks out over a waterhole which tends to get rather busy during the dry season, with elephant, buffalo, and impala being regular visitors.
Location
The camp has commanding views across the Mkata Flood Plains and is within easy reach of some of the more interesting areas of the park, including the hippo pools. Rooms are well equipped and clean with comfortable beds, making it a very pleasant place to stay.

SafariBando's view
Mikumi Wildlife Camp’s waterhole-facing position, which gets genuinely busy with elephant, buffalo, and impala during the dry season, combined with commanding views across the Mkata Flood Plains, gives it strong wildlife-viewing credentials. Its proximity to park headquarters and the hippo pools, just 300m off the TanZam highway, adds practical convenience.— The SafariBando team
