lodging
Note that the below is nearly definitely written by someone who works at the camp and I'm not sure that such descriptions should be included without citation. have been to Mwagusi and whilst it is a fine safari camp, it is by no means the best in Tanzania. -The price is US$70 per person per night for local visitors and US$500 per person per night for foreign tourists. Price includes accommodation and meals but not drinks. The cost may seem high, but if you are after a little luxury, this is the place. The accommodation is made up of self contained traditional bandas with hot solar showers and flushing conveniences scattered along the Mwagusi Sand River. Inside the banda is the sleeping âtentâ fitted out with comfortable bed, desk for writing your journal, etc., truly the height of opulence. Every banda has a veranda overlooking the sand river where you can watch the game wander by in the early morning and evening in unbridled comfort.
A typical day at Mwagusi can consist of the following:
07:30 Coffee served in your banda
08:00 Early Morning Bird Walk Canât tell you how good this is - walking around the park with guides looking at the wildlife whilst watching the sun rise
09:00 Breakfast Juice, Fruit, Toast, Eggs, Tomatoes, Tea/Coffee etc.
Game Drive
11:00 Morning Coffee and pastries if required
Game Drive
13:00 Lunch 3 courses â e.g. Gaspatcho, Buffet, Dessert and Coffee; Afternoon Game Drive
16:00 Afternoon Coffee and pastries if required
Game Drive
18:00 Return to Camp, Hot Shower
19:30 Cocktails in Sand River around a camp fire, Evening Meal 5 Courses set in Sand River surrounded by Elephants and Lions within touching distance I kid you not!
It is also possible to arrange a days walking safari, although this definitely not for the faint hearted as the guides donât like to carry guns make sure you know how to climb a tree!
