Mdonya Old River Camp, a small but great adventure
camp is one of the newest bush destinations in Tanzania. Mydonya Old
River is located in the western part of Ruaha
National Park, the second largest Game Park in Tanzania, a few
kilometres from the Mdonya Falls. With just 11 tents, Mdonya Old
River is a small camp offering a personal service.
The dining and lounge tents are under Sycamore Fig trees overlooking
the dry river bed which is used by game as a corridor, so that guests
can enjoy the game viewing even while having lunch or relaxing.
The romance of dining by candlelight to the sound of crickets and the
occasional hyena or lion, is unforgettable.
The tents are scattered in a spacious area, nestled in
the curving banks of a sand-river. They are traditional safari
tents and comfortably furnished with double or twin beds and with
large verandahs where one can relax and observe the wildlife around.
There are three family tents, with separate rooms zipped on. All the
tents have en suite bathrooms with dressing room, open-roofed shower
and separate flush toilet.
The camp is located in a beautiful wilderness area and sitting in the
camp with a book and a pair of binoculars may be quite rewarding.
