Love To Explore Rating: Business Class

Usangu Expedition Camp is in the heart of the pristine Usangu Wetlands in Ruaha National Park. The secluded camp offers a truly immersive experience in the African wilderness, in a remote, relatively undiscovered area of the park. The luxurious tented accommodations are elegantly appointed with modern amenities while still maintaining a connection to the natural surroundings. Guided by knowledgeable local experts, visitors can explore the area on game drives, boat safaris and walking safaris, spotting wildlife including elephants, lions, and leopards alongside more unusual sightings such as African wild dog, sable and roan antelope and the exceptionally lucky may even spot an aardvark. Guests can also visit the Douglas Bell Research Station and learn about the conservation and research work being carried out on the wetlands. With its remote location and personalized service, Usangu Expedition Camp provides an unparalleled opportunity for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:

  • Unique location in the Usangu Wetlands, a relatively undiscovered part of Ruaha National Park 
  • Wide range of safari activities on offer, including a visit to the Douglas Bell Research Station 
  • Private vehicles for every group 

“A remote, intimate camp for people looking for an 'off the beaten track' adventure”

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
