Nestled in the remote and vast southern reaches of Ruaha National Park, far from the usual tourist trails, lies the Usangu Expedition Camp. This exclusive camp offers travelers a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in Tanzania’s untouched wilderness, where wildlife roams freely, unbothered by crowds, and the landscape remains virtually unspoiled by human presence.
Situated within the Usangu Wetlands, this area was once occasionally visited by hunting parties. Today, it has been transformed into a wildlife haven, offering safari enthusiasts an authentic and secluded experience. Here, visitors can step back in time and witness nature as it was meant to be—wild, unpredictable, and breathtakingly beautiful.
The Usangu Expedition Camp features six luxurious tented suites, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Each tent boasts stunning views of the wetlands and is equipped with private bathrooms, hot-water showers, and comfortable furnishings, ensuring a balance between comfort and adventure.
Guests at Usangu Expedition Camp can partake in a variety of activities, including:
The camp is deeply committed to wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism. Visitors have the opportunity to participate in conservation efforts, such as monitoring big cats and studying the unique ecosystem of the Usangu Wetlands. This hands-on involvement makes for a truly immersive and impactful safari experience.
Usangu Expedition Camp operates from June to November, coinciding with the best time for safaris in the region. The recommended way to get there is by flying to Jongomero Airstrip, followed by a two-hour scenic drive to the camp.
For those seeking to relive the golden days of safaris—where nature dictates the rhythm and each day holds a new adventure—Usangu Expedition Camp is the ultimate destination for an unforgettable journey into Tanzania’s wild heart.
