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.

Mwagusi Camp

Ruaha National Park

Mwagusi is a superb little camp on the northern bank of the seasonal Mwagusi Sand River.

There are 12 large safari tents shaded by reed and thatch, spaced along the banks of the boulder strewn river. At the back of each tent there is a large stone-walled bathroom with mkeka mats, hot showers, basin and flush toilets.

The tents are spacious and comfortable and have large shady verandas at the front with big comfy armchairs on a sand floor. It's the perfect spot to while away the afternoon watching the birds hopping about in the trees above you, and in the dry season, elephants wander along the river bed to dig for water.

Food is superb at Mwagusi and served either in the reed and thatch dining room or more frequently, out in the open. Fresh cinnamon rolls are baked each day for breakfast, there are tasty light lunches and dinner is often eaten under the stars in the sandy river bed.

Activities at Mwagusi are very well organised. It is possible to enjoy half and full day game drives in open 4WD's and early morning walks.

Overall, Mwagusi is a magical camp and ideally situated in the heart of the park. It's located in an excellent position for game viewing and large herds of elephant are never far away.
