About this stay
Mdonya Old River Camp is a classic safari camp set on the banks of the Mdonya sand river in Ruaha National Park. The camp comprises traditional walk-in tents shaded by large trees and spaced for privacy, with wildlife frequently passing by the dry riverbed.
Tents are comfortably furnished and feature verandas overlooking the river course, with en-suite open-air bathrooms that include solar-heated showers and flush toilets. The camp's open-sided dining and lounge tents create a relaxed gathering space, with candlelit dinners and a campfire under the stars. Activities focus on game drives and guided walks through Ruaha's diverse habitats.
