Stanleys Kopje

Mikumi National Park, Tanzania - Classic 4

Stanleys Kopje is a small camp set on a rocky kopje overlooking the Mwanamboga water hole. Built on one of the few hills dotted about the extensive plain, the 360 degree views from the restaurant and bar on the top of the hill are quite spectacular, with each tent spaced out around the base of the hill with open vistas stretching out as far as the eye can see. One of only two camps inside Mikumi National Park, guests find themselves immersed in nature with the entire park to themselves at the end of the day.

Accommodation

Stanley's Kopje has 12 luxury tents with ensuite bathrooms, raised on wooden platforms. Each tent is positioned around the perimeter of rocky kopje, and each enjoys a unique view over the Mikumi Plains.

The bar lounge building is set at the top of the kopje where guests can enjoy drinks and a swim with 360-degree views, while watching the game come to the water hole to drink.

Special occasions can be catered for by an individually prepared bush breakfast, stepping that much further into nature.

Activities

Game drives are taken in open, adapted 4WD vehicles. The vehicles have tiered seating and roof shading, allowing the guests to enjoy the closeness to nature. Soft drinks are provided. Vehicles seat either 4/5 people or 7/8 people and are on a shared basis unless a private vehicle is reserved.

Day excursions offer you a chance to visit the Sanje Waterfall in the Udzungwa mountains. Here guests can swim in pools at the top of the falls with rare endemic primate species, The Red Hehe Colombus and Sanje Mangabey, playing in the tree’s above.
