“A rustic camp exuding character and a homely charm. Bandas with private balconies are made from local materials - grass thatch, timber, drift wood, stones and reeds. Friendly staff give a laid back feel. Dine in the evening under the stars. Ideal for escaping to the wild.”

Hotel review

Located in the North of Ruaha National Park Mwagusi is a rare gem on the safari circuit. Tucked away on the banks of a curve in the Mwagusi Sand River and then home of Chris Fox and family, the camp oozes character and homely charm. Overall it's a little bit rough round the edges but that's the way it wants to be ... and we wouldn't want it any other way.
