About the location
The history and pedigree of Mwagusi Camp has, like many of the greatest camps in Africa, become somewhat of a legend. Similarly, like many of Africa’s greatest guides, Chris Fox, the owner and manager, is one of those people that you need to meet to believe.
Originally a hunting guide in the area, long before it was a national park, Chris spent many years wandering on foot through the region. When the government decided to protect the land they asked him if he would like to establish a camp and, choosing the best location for game and habitat, Chris chose Mwagusi.

camp Layout
Set amongst the riperian forest along the banks of the seasonally flowing Mwagusi River, each of the thatched bandas looks out across the river bed.
With a main dining area and lounge hidden amongst the branches, there is plenty of game that comes in during the day to make use of the shade that the trees and bandas afford.
Do see our new Mwagusi Camp Picture Gallery further down this page.
Mwagusi Camp Accomodation
The rooms themselves are airy and spacious, with comfortable bedrooms and relaxing areas out the front in which to lounge and watch the many elephants that wander in between the bandas, looking for palm nuts to munch on….there really is nothing like an afternoon of watching and listening as an elephant snuffles his way around your banda only a foot away!

Wildlife & Activities at Mwagusi Camp
Still, arguably, one of the best places in Africa to come for what can still be seen as an “authentic” safari experience, Ruaha andm in particular the region around Mwagusi, has some excellent game viewing to be had.
The camp offers a range of different ways to experience, the bush, in an open-sided Landcruiser, on foot with one of the seasoned guides or by starlight on a night drive.
