We don't have a photograph of Mwagusi Safari Camp yet. We only publish images we are licensed to use, so this is an illustration rather than the real thing. Run this lodge? Send us your photos and we'll swap it out.
Ruaha's original owner-run camp, hand-built on a sand river famous for lion activity. Rustic in the best sense, with hosting by a family that has guided here for nearly four decades.
Why you'd pick it
- Legendary lion and elephant viewing on the sand river
- Bush dinners in the riverbed
- One of few camps open in the rains
