ACCOMMODATION DETAILS

Nestled into a bank of the Mwagusi Sand River, this small exclusive tented camp overlooks a watering hole in the riverbed. A camp with a real passion for offering a genuine bush experience rather than focusing on luxury facilities and service.

The 13 tents are designed within thatched bandas each with high density mattresses, dressing table, wardrobe, luggage racks and safari chairs, all built in the traditional style of the camp.

Solar powered lights as well as a number of traditional hurricane lamps provide lighting. At the front of each banda is a large covered veranda with a table and armchairs made from local materials. Each banda has an ‘en suite’ bathroom with flush toilet and hot shower. The best of game viewing can be experienced from the seclusion of your veranda.

This camp is built on a reputation for superb guiding. One of the only owner-run safari camps within Tanzania, Chris Fox is a charismatic host and guide.

Game viewing takes place from open sided 4WD vehicles, each with comfortable seats and high shade awning to enable one to stand and still be in the shade.  The vehicles are equipped with reference books and bean bags for photography, medikits and all the necessities for a day in the bush.

Walking safari options can vary in length; from a short walk in the vicinity of the camp to a 3-4 hour walk along the banks of the river.

I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.

Armin

Many thanks for a truly great holiday! Nyerere National Park was a great success as we saw the wild dogs on 2 occasions and some great lion kills. In fact we saw a pride of 10 lion including cubs within 10 mins of landing in the Nyerere National Park! Zanzibar was wonderful! The sunshine hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely.

Andrew Morton

The welcome and kindness and generosity we have received, in all of our camps and stops has been tremendous. Although we have both travelled a lot over our years together, we both agree this holiday has been outstanding, and one of the best experiences of our lives.

Tanzania Northern Parks & Zanzibar, August 2019

Thank you for organising a fabulous holiday for us – memories of which will last a lifetime. We have arrived back completely awed by Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw the all the wildlife we could possibly wish to see. Our driver was charming and looked after us brilliantly. Lodges were excellent and food fantastic.
