Mdonya Old River Camp

Centrally located deep within the park along the Old Mdonya riverbed, a stone throw from the seasonal Mdonya waterfalls it’s a majestic location offering a truly exciting bush safari adventure. At Mdonya you never feel like an intruder. Designed to remain simple and eco-friendly, the camps’ rustic setting incorporates you in the natural environment to make you feel part of wilderness. And the wildlife adds to this feel, meandering through the camp as though it’s just another step in their journey.

Accommodation: The large verandahs are an ideal place for relaxing in between activities or simply to enjoy the view of wildlife passing by. Alternatively help yourself to complementary tea or coffee in the lounge, browse through our selection of wildlife books or make a purchase at our gift shop to support some of our community-development activities.

Twelve tents nestled in a spacious area under the shade of large sycamore figs and Faidherbia albida, spaciously located along the curving banks of the Mdonya sand-river. Each traditional safari tent is comfortably furnished, catering for solo travelers, couples or families. All the tents have ensuite bathrooms with dressing room, open-roofed solar heated shower and separate flush toilets.

The picturesque wilderness that the camp is located in attracts an abundant variety of wildlife and you need only sit in camp with a book and a pair of binoculars to be amazingly rewarded. Impala, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, kudus, elephants, lions, leopards and other animals are often seen around the area…
