Rough land but warm and gentle people and luxorios rooms – Magic
From the moment we arrived at the camp, we were treated like royalty. The staff were absolutely incredible – warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our stay unforgettable. Every tent had its own dedicated Maasai guard, watching over us day and night, adding both a sense of safety and authenticity to the experience.
The tents themselves? Pure magic. Built with natural bamboo, high ceilings, and thoughtful design touches – like being able to watch the sunset from the bathtub or toilet! Waking up to views of the distant mountains, surrounded by the wild sounds of nature, was something I’ll never forget.
Meals were a highlight in themselves – delicious, fresh, and served in the most breathtaking setting imaginable. One day we dined in the middle of an open field in the savannah, with just our small group of four. You couldn’t even see the other tents, which made it feel like we had the whole of Mikumi to ourselves.
Evenings were spent around the campfire, dancing and singing “Hakuna Matata” under the stars – a moment of pure joy and connection.
Lifetime experience
We did a 3 day tour in Mikumi national park. It was worth all the money. Excellent guid Saloniki knew so much about wildlife and nature. We learned so much from him. This travel company is very helpfull flexibel and the communication is very accurate and quick from booking till guiding. The pickup by Adam and Issaye who always connacted online. I would definitly recommend this agency

Fantastic efficient company
We did safari in mikumi national park last week, our guide William was just brilliant, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in the park. The accommodation was better than I expected. Over all I would rate Camp Lilac Mikumi 10out of 10.

Fantastic operator! True value for money, exciting program and very experienced and friendly staff.
We booked the 3-day safari tour in Nyerere National Park and it exceeded all of our expectations. The communication before our trip already was great, we received answers to any questions or changes in our plans within minutes.
The trip itself was absolutely unforgettable. The biggest plus would be that we had a private safari with just the 3 of us, not having to share transport or accommodation with a big group of other tourists - which made it more special and easier to move. The trip from Dar Es Salaam to the national park was already enjoyable, driving through the country with our experienced and fun guide Aberi who could tell us everything about Tanzania, culture and nature in specific. The lodge was incredible, offering us separate cabins with much space, privacy and comfort. The meals in the lodge were also great and their staff very friendly.
The itinerary was well curated - offering boat safari one afternoon, game drive the next day, closing off with a bush walk on the final day. I also liked the fact we could adjust the planning somewhat to our liking as we had a private safari.
Aberi knew a lot about the park and the animals, trees and plants. Because of his experience it didn't take long before we saw hippo's, lions, elephants and giraffe's and we managed to come really close. We all felt really safe because we were in the hands of people who work in these parks for many years and we were always accompanied by rangers or a guide.
All in all, would highly recommend to anyone traveling there!

Amazing four-day safari with Camp Lilac, featuring unforgettable wildlife encounters
Our four-day adventure with Camp Lilac Safari was simply unforgettable! We explored the stunning landscapes of Mikumi National Park and even had a day of invigorating hiking in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. The experience was elevated by incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guides who made us feel truly cared for every step of the way. From the awe-inspiring wildlife encounters to the breathtaking natural scenery, every moment was a delight. I would highly recommend Camp Lilac Safari to anyone looking for a well-organized safari experience with flawless communication.

Flawless service from start to finish—an unforgettable experience with great care
From start to finish, the communication with Camp Lilac Mikumi Safaris was excellent. We never felt alone during the entire experience, as everything was perfectly planned down to the smallest detail—from the airport pickup to the resort arrangements and the selection of knowledgeable and friendly guides.
One of the highlights was the visit to the Maasai village, which was both authentic and deeply enriching. The value for money was outstanding; while others pay the same price for just a one-day trip from Zanzibar, we were pampered throughout the entire experience.
From the first contact, Isaya made me feel completely at ease. I had no hesitation in paying the initial deposit, as their reliability was evident from the start. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour operator for a seamless and memorable safari adventure!

Perfect organization + Safari
Everything was perfect from the start!
Isaya was in constant contact with me, first by email, then by WhatsApp. We were picked up from the hotel and had lunch on the way. We arrived in Mikumi, where our competent and friendly 2 safari guides were already waiting. We set off straight away and we were extremely lucky in just half a day. We were able to see a leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra.
Special praise again to Isaya, he does a perfect job, is very communicative and interested. He also told us a lot about Tanzania and his own life path. Unfortunately our flight to Zanzibar was cancelled, we then had to make the ferry, here too he helped us get the tickets, for which we were really grateful, as it is just a huge chaos here and you have to look after your things very carefully. Super organised

Wonderful trip
With my friend we spend 3 days with the two best guides of Tanzania. Our Driver, Idris knows the spots perfectly to find animals, He comes up close to allow us to take the best pictures. Obviously he is a good driver but he knows also all animals and gives many facts (fun, original and little-known) on them. Our second guide, Stefano, find many animals for us but he knows also all the stories about them, why they eat this plant, why they live here etc
Our two guides were so kind, friendly and professional. If you want to live an unforgettable experience you are in the right place and in good hands!
I just want to say Thank you to my two amazing guides, Idris and Stefano for these 3 days, I Will remember this trip for the rest of my Life.
