ENVIRONMENT

Surrounded by Tanzanian bush and situated at Ngerengere River, Eco Camp is the perfect destination for all age groups dreaming of experiencing Tanzanian life (75% of Tanzanians live in rural areas). Eco Camp is a great place for visitors to relax in a very quite and 100% natural environment.

ACCOMODATION

Our camp is unique: all houses are mostly built of natural materials. Our houses are of diffrent sizes. You may like to use a comfortable single or double bed - of course all including mosquito nets. Each house also has a private bathroom. Our Eco Camp Msonge Hostel can even accommodate up to eight people. Since 2018 we provide a special family house, which includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a small living room. For camping lovers, we have plenty of space for tents. Apart from the houses, we have a big dining hall, a kitchen and a great fire camp area.

FOOD

Enjoy our 100% organic and freshly cooked food! You will get three typical Tanzanian meals per day. Our food is also suitable for vegetarian guests. We use fresh fruits and vegetables from our own garden whenever possible. Additionally, barbecue at the campfire is available.

ACTIVITIES

Firstly, you have the chance to explore the natural environment with baboons, galagos, beautiful birds, chameleons and other animals. Refresh your mind while sitting on the stones of Ngerengere River.

Secondly, we offer a unique cultural tourism experience. Through our extensive social network in the area we can provide guests with the chance to learn and experience much about the culture of Lukwambe´s people. You can get to know the diffrent lifestyles of the villagers through direct meetings and exchanges. Many of our guests find it also very interesting to visit a Masai family nearby.

 

Thirdly, tourists have the chance to get to know our social projects in Lukwambe. In cooperation with the villagers, we improve conditions in Lukwambe through diffrent projects regarding education, health care, water quality and reforestation.

Fourthly, while you stay at Eco Camp you will have the opportunity to visit many fantastic places nearby. Our Eco Camp is close to the highway to Mikumi National Park which is located in the north of Selous - Africa´s biggest Game Reserve today! We can organize daytrips or overnights for you to Mikumi at a reasonable price. We recommend this National Park because of a big variety of animals live there such as zebras, impala, giraffes, wildebeest, lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos, antelopes, monkeys and crocodiles.

But Mikumi is still not as crowded with tourists cars as many National Park in the Northern Zone. Apart from Mikumi, we can arrange safaris to Ruaha National Park, Udzungwa Mountains National Park and Saadani National Park.

 

For hiking fans we organize trips to the Uluguru Mountains in Morogoro.

The Uluguru Mountains are 2,600 meters high and the vegetation is very variable, ranging from dry lowland to diffrent kinds of forests and beautiful water falls! We can organize a daytrip or if you aim to reach the top of the Mountains, it is also possible to do some camping in the Mountains.

 

Fifthly, we offer interesting workshops for our guests at Eco Camp and in Lukwambe,
which you can check here.
