Usangu Expedition Camp

WELCOME TO USANGU EXPEDITION CAMP
 

Discover the remote, wild, unexplored, untouched, and adventurous beauty of the Usangu Wetlands in Ruaha while staying at our boutique Usangu Expedition Camp.
 

Situated beyond the high-water mark under the shade of miombo woodlands, this intimate camp of just six tents has been carefully positioned to offer a personalized and exclusive experience. Enjoy game drives along the river and through forested regions in search of big cats, elephant, giraffe, and sable and roan antelope, or head out on foot to explore the dry seasonal floodplains and better understand the importance of the Usangu Wetlands. Evenings bring breathtaking sunsets across the park, while a delicious and wholesome dinner is prepared over the open campfire.
 

Step beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in a realm where tourism is playing a crucial role in the protection and rehabilitation of an ecosystem. Wander grassy trails with that knowledge that your presence is contributing to the conservation of this crucial wilderness area. The history of the Usangu Wetlands and the work that has been done to conserve it creates a fascinating story which can be enjoyed through both the resources of the Douglas Bell Information Centre in camp, and through the passionate staff, most of whom are from the surrounding communities.
