The quiet side of Mikumi
Most accommodation in Mikumi is in town, along the highway — a busy road with trucks and traffic day and night. We wanted the opposite. Camp Lilac is about 2 km from the road, in the bush, in a secluded and safe spot where we found the most incredible view of the Mikumi Mountains. Honestly, we were very lucky to find this place. It all came together.
Why luxury tents
Around Mikumi you can find plenty of rooms that could be anywhere in the world. What was missing was a place where you actually feel you are on safari. That is why we chose luxury tents: you are immersed in nature, you hear the bush at night, and you are still safe and comfortable — a proper bed, a private bathroom, air conditioning and your own deck.
Built into nature, not the other way round
Our idea was to combine comfort and luxury with nature — with the emphasis on fitting the camp into the bush, not clearing the bush to fit the camp. Everything we build goes into nature, and we work to keep that natural look as the camp grows.
Our team
We pay the best salaries in Mikumi and we take care of our staff, on top of proper training. We think that is why guests write so much about the people here — the service comes from a team that is looked after.
