My Oct 2014 trip
Tanzania between 2 Oct 2014 and 10 Oct 2014
"I have been on safari many times, but this has been my best safari vacation ever.
Since I am particularly interested in elephants and lions, I would have preferred to book my entire stay at Mwagusi. However, for a "first timer" the Selous Game reserve is beautiful and the landscape is absolutely stunning.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
If anybody indicates lions and elephants as their main interest. then advice them to go to Ruaha and not to Selous. However, I understand that my own concerns about off-road driving have influenced the decision to go to both Selous and Ruaha."

Mwagusi Safari Camp

"Mwagusi camp is perfect, the bandas (tents) are beautifully designed and fit perfectly in the natural surroundings. The staff goes out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
The communal dining in the riverbed gives you a real bush experience. The safari industry in Ruaha has been set up by the Fox family and you can see that Chris knows exactly how things should be done. The gameviewing is spectacular, especially if you are interested in elephants and lions."

When you want to see lots of elephants and lions however, you better go to a different national park. There has been a lot of poaching of elephants and lions are nomadic and therefore are difficult to find.
I've seen lions every day though and for a "first timer" it's a perfect place to go on safari. The landscape is absolutely stunning."
