Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Mdonya Old River Camp

Ruaha National Park

Mdonya Old River Camp is a small camp located near the Mdonya Falls in the Ruaha National Park.

There are 10 tents, under sycamore, fig and acacia trees dotted around a clearing in the bush: each is simple, but comfortable, furnished with double or twin beds veiled by mosquito nets and with verandahs where one can relax and observe the wildlife around. They keep the feel of the original explorations in Tanzania, and are lit only by candlelight, while the en suite bathrooms are open to the stars.

The dining and lounge tents are under fig trees overlooking the dry river bed which is used by game as a corridor.

There are two prides of lion living very close to camp which can often be seen or heard at night! Dinner is often eaten outside, where guests are lit from one side by the campfire and from above by moonlight.
