Abutting the northern edge of the vast Selous Game Reserve, Mikumi gets less press than its illustrious neighbour. Yet this 3,200 square mile tract of savannah and miombo woodland offers prime game viewing and has a mind-boggling number of bird species. The reserve is easily accessible from Dar es Salaam and makes a natural stopover between Foxes’ Ruaha River Lodge and their Indian Ocean hideaway, Lazy Lagoon.Our Mikumi safari got off to an unforgettable start with giraffes scattering away from the bush landing strip as our light aircraft touched down. By the time we reached the delectable camp, wrapped round an isolated kopje with 360º views of the Mkata floodplain, we’d seen lion, zebra, hippo, huge numbers of buck including the elusive eland, and feathered things galore. The makuti-thatched hilltop lodge seemed lifted straight from the pages of Karen Blixen and throughout our stay we couldn’t fault the Foxes’ attention to detail nor the excellence of our safari guides. This Africa safari lodge is situated in the scenic Mikumi National Park in Tanzania. Vuma Hills Tented Camp is situated above the trees in the south west of Mikumi National Park.This Tanzania safari camp in Africa boasts spacious tents decorated in a colonial style.
