Vuma Hill Tented Camp

Nestled in the forests of the Vuma Mountains, which overlook the Mkata Plains of Mikumi below.

It is perched above the trees, stretching over the seemingly endless wilderness southwest of Mikumi National Park.

The sixteen tents are comfortably furnished, so sleeping under canvas at Vuma is a far cry from the discomfort usually associated with camping.

Complete with a shaded wooden veranda at the front and en suite bathroom facilities at the back, there is little more to ask for.

Dining and Bar

The cozy bar area centers on a roaring log fire and opens onto a large deck, from which you can take in the setting sun over the Mkata plains below.

Under the same thatch, the dining area offers sweeping views through the lush trees and overlooks the swimming pool.

Good time to visit Vuma Tented Hill

The best time to visit is during the dry months from June through February.

Vuma Hills Tented Camp remains open year-round, but access to some areas of the park may be limited from March through June due to the rains.

Camp location

The camp is perched above the trees, stretching over the seemingly endless wilderness southwest of Mikumi Park.

Mikumi is not only a great place for ‘getting your eye in’ on game drives, but it is also a fantastically colorful place.

The open grasslands stretching out before you, changing through the spectrum of oranges and yellows throughout the day, are a photographer’s paradise.

Why choose Vuma Hill Tented camp

• Solar water heaters have been installed in each room, using natural sunlight to provide hot running water.
• Water temperature may fluctuate, but being near the equator with intense solar energy is uncommon.
• Power is sufficient in the camp; however, electricity does not reach remote National Parks, so solar energy and generators provide power.
• Tanzania’s leading electricity provider does not extend into remote National Parks; therefore,
• One of the marvels of Vuma Hills is the wildlife that roams around camp, meaning your safari does not end after a game drive.
• Security is strong in the camp, with Masai guards escorting guests on short walks between their rooms and other camp areas.
