Vuma Hills Camp
Vuma Hills Tented Camp is positioned on the hills overlooking the plain in the Mukini National Park. The ecosystem in this park is rather special as there are 4 major and distinct vegetation zones converging in Mikumi: miombo woodland from southern Africa, arid bushland from the north, the coastal zone to the east and the mountains of Uluguru and Ruhumero to the north and west making a unique ecotonal area. Accommodation at Vuma Hills consists of 16 spacious tents on wooden platforms with thatched roofs. All have en suite bathroom facilities, and are fully mosquito proof. Power is available for lighting and recharging batteries but not for hairdryers. These spacious tents are shaded by woodland and are dotted around the restaurant, bar and swimming pool. Special diets can be catered for with prior notification. |

The evenings are lit up with a brazier and you may have the chance of seeing the 5 resident honey badgers, civits, genets and bush babies that arrive for their evening meal. These unusual nocturnal dinner companions are sometimes accompanied by porcupine. Normally they are rarely seen, especially at such close proximity.
Animal and bird species are also different in each of these 4 habitats. Lion, leopard, elephant, crocodiles, zebra, giraffe and varied antelopes are regularly seen on the plains. Hartebeest, sable, kudu, colobus monkey and hunting dog are more common in the miombo woodland area.
Daily game drives are accompanied by trained and experienced guides in open, adapted 4WD vehicles.
