Mwagusi Safari Camp Ruaha Tanzania

Mwagusi Safari Camp Ruaha Tanzania is an exclusive tented camp nestled on the bank of the Mwagusi River, in the Ruaha National Park situated in the southern circuit of Tanzania. The camp is about 35km from the main park gate, 16km from the Msembe airstrip, and a 120km or 3 hours drive from Iringa town.

Ruaha National Park in the center of Tanzania takes its name from the Hehe word for ‘river.’ The eponymous Great Ruaha River serves as a lifeline for the park’s wildlife. Although it’s the largest national park in the country and rich in wildlife, Ruaha is one of the least busy places to visit in Tanzania, so safaris here feel remote and exclusive.

The camp is built almost entirely from organic natural materials with guests being treated to a “unique” tented safari experience. Each en-suite tent is comfortably secured under a cooling thatched roof and nestled snuggly into the sandy banks of the Mwagusi River.

Mwagusi Safari Camp Ruaha Tanzania consists of 13 large spacious guest tents or bandas. Each banda has en-suite facilities with a flushing toilet, an unlimited supply of hot water, a shower, sink, shelving, a large mirror, and good nighttime lighting.

All the “bandas” are built into the sandy banks of the Mwagusi River providing their own private and secluded view. There is an onsite restaurant and bar. The main dining area is built looking onto the riverbed and has two large and comfortable seating areas where you can relax with an afternoon drink.

Built using stones, driftwood, and bones the bathroom is an area of interesting, unique, and original design. Thick comfortable towels, soap, and shampoo are provided. An efficient same-day laundry service that is free of charge is offered.

Adjacent to the main dining is the reading room – equipped with a table and chairs, a comfortable seating area, and shelving with reading books.

All the “bandas” are built into the sandy banks of the Mwagusi River providing their own private and secluded view. Each has a large covered verandah, with a comfortable cushioned seating area and swinging hammock, making this the perfect place to relax and view the passing wildlife.
