 Foxes Safari Camp
This is a small, seasonal camp in Mikumi, presiding over the Mwanamboga waterhole, most suited for game viewing. It combines creature comforts with the real bush experience. The Camp has eight custom designed tents raised on wooden platforms sited around the rock kopje overlooking the Mkata floodplain. All tents have mosquito nets, ensuite bathroom facilities and a private verandah built on a slope with panoramic view of the plains and hillsides.
Meal arrangements include a choice of English or Continental breakfast, while lunch is a cold buffet with dessert. Guest close the day with a three-course dinner with vegetarian option together with tea and coffee. At the top of the kopje is the dining banda, a tall thatched building with open walls on three sides. It contains a bar and a small cushioned seating area, as well as dining tables. |

Vuma Hills Tented Camp
Vuma Hills Tented Camp is perched above the trees stretching over the seemingly endless wilderness south west of Mikumi National Park. 'Vuma' translated from Kiswahili means 'a good rumour that is spread with the blowing wind'. The 16 luxury tents, each tastefully decorated in colonial style, all have a double and single bed, bathroom and private veranda. The public areas are set around the small swimming pool and with views over the Mkata River flood plains. The dining bar area overlooks the swimming pool, a small but welcome refreshment after a dusty day game viewing.
Game activities are mainly on open-roofed 4x4 game drives. However, it is also possible, depending on the season, to take a walking safari to the source of the Kikoboga River, or daily guided wildlife excursions and culture tours to the nearby villages. Trekking under the rainforest canopy with its endemic birds and primates to emerge at Sanje waterfalls to breathtaking views over the Rift Valley below or a full day's excursion to this Udzungwa Mountains National Park is well worth adding to the itinerary.
