Vuma Hills Tented Camp

'Camp fires and warm hospitality create a relaxing bush atmosphere against which to experience the thrill of being close to the multitudes of wild animals in timeless Africa’.

'Vuma' translated from Kiswahili means "a good rumour that is spread with the blowing wind". Vuma Hills Tented Camp is a medium-sized, classic tented safari camp, which is presented in colonial style. Vuma Hills Tented Camp stands high above the trees that look out over the seemingly endless wilderness that lies to the southwest of Mikumi National Park. Featuring just 16 extremely luxurious and colonially-styled tents, the camp has its own swimming pool and central dining and bar area while activities include extensive guided safari game drives. Vuma Hills Tented Camp prides itself on delivering ‘exclusive camping African style’, which combines creature comforts with an authentic bush experience.
The best time for visiting is in the dry months between June to February. Vuma Hills Tented Camp remains open all year round, but access to some areas of the park may be limited during March to June, due to the rains. Birdlife during this time of year is glorious and compensates for the scarcer viewings of game animals.

Accommodation
 
Vuma Hills Safari Camp offers just sixteen spaciously comfortable, custom-designed tents, which are raised on timbered platforms for optimum viewing conditions. Widely spaced with 360 degree views across the floodplains, the tents feature luxurious colonially-styled furniture and have ensuite bathrooms to the rear (shower, WC and hot water), twin double beds with mosquito nets, generator electricity and complimentary laundry.

Dining and bars
 
The dining room overlooks the swimming pool. Menus feature Tanzania and international choices and meals are typically table d’hote. Vuma Hills Safari Camp offers a full bar service and campfire ‘sundowners’ are a feature of camp life.

Conference and event facilities

Vuma Hills Safari Camp does not offer specific conference facilities but will be happy to quote for small meetings and social gatherings.

Weddings and honeymoons

Child-friendly facilities

What to see and do
 
The camp has its own swimming pool. All game drives around the park are taken in open 4 wheel drive vehicles.
Guided safari walks and ornithological tours are also popular since Mikumi National Park boasts over 400 species of birds, many of which are migratory.
    
Safari experiences at this tented camp include: morning safari game drives in especially adapted 4WD safari vehicles (with professionally trained Tanzania safari guides), safari bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners; cocktails around the safari campfire and guided safari walks. The tented camp also offers ornithological tours, cultural performances and visits.
