Mdonya Old River Tented Camp Ruaha Tanzania

Mdonya Old River Tented Camp Ruaha Tanzania is a traditional luxury tented camp situated along the Mdonya sand river, in the heart of Ruaha National Park.  The camp is in the western part of Ruaha National Park, just a few kilometers from the stunning Mdonya Falls and a one to two-hour drive from the airstrip.

There are daily flights with Coastal Aviation both from Dar es Salaam/Zanzibar as well as Serengeti. For Mdonya Old River Camp landing and taking off is from Msembe airstrip in Ruaha National Park.

Mdonya Old River Tented Camp Ruaha Tanzania rooms are basic Meru-style tents and all 11 of them are well spread out creating good privacy. Each has an extended bathroom with a shower under the stars. There is no electricity in the rooms but the lanterns and candles make for an even better African atmosphere.

During midday, you can even enjoy some peace and quiet from a deck chair on your veranda, and at night, the stars glisten above as the lack of light pollution allows for some breathtaking views. Each traditional safari tent is comfortably furnished, catering for solo travelers, couples, or families.

All the tents have ensuite bathrooms with a dressing room, open-roofed solar-heated shower, and separate flush toilets. Mdonya tents can be modified to host families, adding an extra tent room on the veranda.

The large verandahs are an ideal place for relaxing in between activities or simply enjoying the view of wildlife passing by. Alternatively, help yourself to complimentary tea or coffee in the lounge, browse through our selection of wildlife books, or make a purchase at our gift shop to support some of our community development or conservation activities.

The picturesque wilderness that the camp is located in attracts an abundant variety of wildlife and you need only sit in the camp with a book and a pair of binoculars to be amazingly rewarded. Impalas, zebras, giraffes, kudus, dik-dik, elephants, lions, leopards, and other animals are often seen around.

Mdonya Old River Tented Camp Ruaha Tanzania game drives are flexible and not limited by any schedule! Guests get a chance to see the breathtaking mosaic of ecosystems, from the river pools to the acacia grasslands and wooden forests.
