Mwagusi Safari Camp
About Mwagusi Safari Camp
Mwagusi Safari Camp is a classic, authentic camp located on the banks of the Mwagusi River in Ruaha National Park. The accommodation consists of comfortable, rustic tents built from local materials, blending naturally into the riverine landscape. The camp is well-known for its informal, friendly atmosphere and its deep roots in the park's history. The riverbanks are a magnet for wildlife, particularly elephants, which can often be seen wandering through the camp. Guests enjoy an unpretentious, honest experience, where the focus is on the raw beauty of the bush and the expert knowledge of the long-standing guiding team. It is a favored choice for those who prefer an authentic, down-to-earth safari that captures the true spirit of old-world East African exploration.
Why we like it
The camp’s relaxed, authentic atmosphere and its location on the riverbank make for a truly immersive and heartfelt safari experience.
