We want you to THINK WILD! Ruaha national park is the biggest and wildest national park in Tanzania. And we want you to get lost in it! We want you to feel the real wilderness, far from everybody else, with only wild animals as our companions. Nothing can make you understand you are an animal yourself more then the roar of a lion next to your ear! When we understand we are animals ourselves, we shall surely become aware of the importance of their protection and conservation. In a way, a stay at Mdonya Old River Camp, is a journey to meet our very ancient roots, a time when we were actually part of the bush ourselves, in harmony and equal to all other creatures. You will fly to the heart of Tanzania, in the center of the country, to a plateau located a thousand meters high at the footstep of the Rift valley. That is where the Mdonya Old River is. Even though we are animals, we do like to have all our comforts but be extremely light footed.

Game drives are flexible and are not limited by any schedule!
Guests have the chance to see the breathtaking mosaic of the ecosystems of the Ruaha National Park, from the river pools to the acacia grasslands and wooden forests.
There are Baobab tree valleys and sand rivers fringed with Hyphaene petersiana palms. Monolithic granite boulders dating from the formation of the Great Rift Valley and exposed by erosion are scattered across the area.
Enjoy every second of the beauty of Ruaha during Mdonya’s bush breakfasts, bush lunches and sundowners, on a open game viewing vehicle!
The day is split in 2 moments, but remains the flexibility of departure times:
the early morning departure with bush breakfast can be organized, otherwise breakfast is served at the camp and departure for game drive just afterwards;
return to the main camp for lunch;
afternoon game drive which can be combined with the sun-downer.
