From the moment we arrived at the wooded hilltop retreat at Mikumi Safari Lodge, we were welcomed and treated like family. Daniel, the manager, had already helped me out via WhatsApp with changing our dates and arranging for transport to the lodge, as well as advising on activities and safaris, while Amani and Mgangaa were the most attentive and engaging co-hosts. Mgangaa accompanied us on two hikes, one to his relatives’ Masai village down the hill, and one along the hilltop ridge for the views and animal sightings. And the food at the lodge was delightful and varied, served in the lovely covered terrace where we often hung out learning more about Tanzanian life from our new friends. The cabins are roomy and immaculate, each with an outside deck, and their own bathroom. There is hot water all the time, solar powered electricity (supplemented with a generator) and absolutely everything works and is well maintained. Daniel proceeded to help us out with several transportation issues even after we left. This was a very memorable stay for us and we will be back!
