Usangu Expedition Camp detail

Moonlight Tours Expedition Presents: Usangu Expedition Camp

Immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the Usangu Wetlands, located within the sprawling Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s largest protected area. Open seasonally from June to November, this camp offers an authentic wilderness experience, blending adventure, research, and luxury. Known as a sanctuary for lions and other predators, Ruaha is a treasure trove of biodiversity and one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, making it the ideal backdrop for the Usangu Expedition Camp.

Named after the Sangu people, the Usangu region allows for unrestricted exploration in this rehabilitative wilderness. Under the guidance of expert rangers and naturalists, uncover a world teeming with wildlife, from stealthy cheetahs and leopards to endangered wild dogs. Beyond traditional safaris, join citizen science programs in collaboration with the Tanzanian Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) and contribute to vital ecological research in this fascinating ecosystem.

Cap off your adventurous days by unwinding in natural hot springs or reflecting on the day’s discoveries around the campfire, under a canopy of stars.
