Our Opinion: Mwagusi is one of Ruaha’s premier safari camps. With knowledgeable guides under the leadership of Chris Fox, you track wildlife quietly on foot or by open-sided Land Cruiser. A rich diversity of animal and plant life is sheltered by the park: miombo forest, rolling woodlands, hills, rivers and plains are host to a great variety of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, sable, roan, huge herds of buffalo and large concentrations of elephant and, uniquely in East Africa, both lesser and greater kudu.
