Very nice trip, with a very engaged tour driver! We saw the lions at last - it was all the money worth!

Calm, heartfelt bush lodge in early development – spacious tents, lovely crew and true safari feel.
5/5

Our stay at this lodge has been a wonderful mix of comfort, warm hospitality, and a genuine bush atmosphere. The six large tents are surprisingly spacious and well-equipped, offering air conditioning, mosquito nets, a private bathroom, and a wide balcony—far more comfort than one would expect in such a remote setting.
The crew is exceptionally kind, motivated, and attentive. Every wish was accommodated with genuine care, and we always felt truly looked after. Meals are served either on the balcony of your tent or near the communal fire pit, creating a peaceful and intimate dining experience. At night, a Maasai escort guides guests between the tents and the main area, which adds safety and charm, especially given the wildlife roaming the area. We regularly saw warthogs and impalas just outside.
The lodge is still in development, which is visible in a few places: the pool and restaurant are not yet finished, and some additional road signs would make the arrival easier for future guests. Still, the atmosphere already feels wonderful. The cheerful “Hakuna Matata” welcome song for new arrivals adds a lovely touch, and the whole place is calm and relaxing. You can hear the nearby road at times, but that’s typical for the region.
Overall, we truly enjoy being here. It is peaceful, heartfelt, and offers a remarkable level of comfort for a lodge in the middle of the bush. We look forward to seeing how this place grows and are already happy to recommend it wholeheartedly.

Simply wonderful!
5/5

We booked a three-day tour at very short notice. The pre-trip communication with Marice from Lilac Camp was fantastic. She made everything we had planned possible.

The drive from Dar es Salaam to the camp was fantastic. Our driver made a short stop during the trip so we could see giraffes and monkeys along the road.

When we arrived at Lilac Camp, we received a very warm welcome. Our lodge was wonderful! Surrounded by nature, completely isolated. The lodge was simple but with great attention to detail.

Our trip to a Maasai village was unforgettable. The tour through the village, the stories, and also the customs – wonderful!

On the second day, we went on a safari early in the morning. Our guide and driver made it possible for us to see all the animals up close. It was a tour just for the two of us, which made it all the more enjoyable! The whole drive left us speechless.

The third day was a truly special one. We drove to Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Here, too, we were well looked after throughout! Our guide told us so much about the national park and left no questions unanswered. We'll certainly never forget the view of the waterfall!

We will always remember the entire experience. Highly recommended! Thanks to the entire team!

5/5

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.

Really friendly and welcoming
5/5

What a great experience with Isiah. Takes time to get used to the culture of super friendly people. Sometimes things take time since no-one is in a rush but that’s what I loved the best about our journey. Everything from transportation to food was taken care of and our guide was very knowledgeable about the wilderness.
