Nestled in the forests of the Vuma Mountains that overlook the Mkata Plains of the Mikumi National Park below, Vuma is a cool retreat from the heat of a day's game drive. The sixteen tents are comfortably furnished, so sleeping under canvas at Vuma is a far cry from any ideas of discomfort. Complete with a shaded wooden veranda at the front and en-suite bathroom facilities at the back, you won't be left wanting. The cosy bar area centres around a roaring log fire, opening onto a large decking area from where you can take in the setting sun over the Mkata plains below. Under the same thatch, the dining area enjoys widespread views through the lush trees and overlooks the swimming pool. The Mkata Plains support vast herds of game such as wildebeest, impala, zebra and giraffe with the keys to an outstanding game drive being ever-present - experience, knowledge and a suitable vehicle.
