Old Mdonya: 12 tents, scattered in a spacious area under the shade of large sycamore fig, nestled in the curving banks of a sand-river. They are traditional safari tents.
The tents are simply but comfortably furnished. There is no electricity (except in the office, where camera and other batteries can be charged up overnight).
Each tent overlooks the Mdonya old sand river, where game of all kinds browses through the day and night

All the tents have en-suite bathrooms with dressing room, open-roofed shower and separate flush toilet.

Solar power warms up the water and produces electricity for use in the Camp Office.

Therefore torches, provided in tents, work with rechargeable batteries and kerosene lanterns light up tent bathrooms.

Mwagusi Safari Camp:  a unique and comfortable tented safari experience. Almost all of the camp is built from natural materials such as grass thatch, timber, drift wood, stones and reeds, allowing the camp to be in perfect balance and harmony with its surroundings, located inside the park.

Each “banda” (meaning ‘temporary shelter’) consists of a large spacious tent sheltered by a cooling thatch roof and set on a polished red floor. Each banda has en-suite facilities with flushing toilet, an unlimited supply of hot water, shower, sink, shelving, a large mirror and good night-time lighting. Built using stones, driftwood and bones the bathroom is an area of interesting, unique and original design. Thick comfortable towels and locally produced clove soap are provided.

An efficient same-day laundry service that is free of charge is offered. The tented living area includes dressing table and mirror, trunk for storage, comfortable beds with high-density mattresses, safari style chairs and bedside tables for night-time reading. All the “bandas” are built into the sandy banks of the Mwagusi River providing their own private and secluded view. Each has large covered verandah, with a comfortable cushioned seating area and swinging hammock, making this the perfect place to relax and view the passing wildlife

At the rear of each chalet is a large bathroom decorated with found timber, a shower and double basins.

The first dining area is a long banda by the side of the river. Breakfast is the perfect time to watch the game meander down for a drink, while evenings can be spent around the fire pit, looking down the river, or curled up in one of the sofas with a drink and a book.

The second area is imperiously-positioned atop the largest kopje in the area, situated on a bend, and enjoys commanding views down two sections of the river. This is surely the best sundowner spot in Ruaha.
