Over our three week stay in Tanzania we stayed in a lot of places and this was my favorite. Our Guide had arranged a special birthday cake (Gluten Free mind you) as a surprise. How did they make such a wonderful cake without an oven?...More

Oh Nicky! What a brilliant review! "Mud hotel rooms" really made us laugh! Thank you so, so much.
We do wonder if the name "Mudhut" is a little misleading... They are real mudhuts, but it's true that the interior is quite a lot more comfortable...More
Such a great place! Comfortable mud huts that really are in the jungle; fall asleep to and awake to the sound of hippos; a beautiful view of the river below relaxing around the nightly campfire; very, very friendly staff and good food.

A stress free place to stay. Staff friendly and mud hut comfortable. Good choice of food. Safari was a memorable experience with every animal seen. River tour was amazing and guides so knowledgeable. Only wish we stayed longer than 3 days.More

Look no further if you are looking for a rustic, good value and friendly safari camp near to the game reserve entrance. The excitement begins landing on the sandy airstrip surrounded by giraffe, baboons and warthogs. We were met by our guide Mpoko who drove...More

The tents are around 70-80 metres from the riverbank, but with the camp located in a woodland area, that does mean that you can't see the river from the tents due to the trees blocking the way. The bar and dining area are both completely open-sided and are located on the riverbank though, and the bar has a lot of comfy seating and great views, so most people who want to be by the river tend to spend a lot of their time relaxing in the bar.
