Seamless!
5/5

Nuhu has been a great safari game ride guide and driver. We were lucky to have seen the big 4 in our 2 days game drive, plus the commentaries given were superb. Frank the Alphard driver between Morogoro train station to Mikumi drove us safely. The accommodation crew at Lilac has given us A+++ service. Merice es the admin lady has been great organising the whole trip for us, party of 6 - 4 adults & 2 kids. So overall it aas SEAMLESS. Thank you all!

Nice tour operator
5/5

This was a nice tour operator. I've experienced a few safari operators over the years, both in Kenya and Tanzania, and this was one of the best. We didn't see african wild dogs, but I don't blame the guide, he really tried his best. We saw lots of other wildlife.

The walking safari on the last day was a bit of a silly infotainment show however.

Outstanding
5/5

We had an amazing 3 days / 2 nights at Camp Lilac. From the start, communication with Merice was outstanding : quick, kind and always helpful. The luxury tent was super comfortable, with the best bedding we’ve had on a trip, and the food was great. Our guide Michael made the safari unforgettable with his passion and knowledge. Excellent value for money, highly recommended, 5/5!

Rough land but warm and gentle people and luxorios rooms – Magic
5/5

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.

Fantastic operator! True value for money, exciting program and very experienced and friendly staff.
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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!
