Vuma Hills Tented Camp is perched on the side of the Mikumi hills overlooking the Mkata

plain. The tents are shaded by woodland, although the animals do still wander through. The

spacious tents are dotted around the restaurant, bar and swimming pool. The evenings are lit
up with a brazier and the chance to see the resident honey badgers, civets, genets and bush

babies that arrive for their evening meal. These unusual companions are sometimes
accompanied by porcupine. These nocturnal animals are usually quite rare to see elsewhere,

and especially at such close proximity.
