| BABU'S CAMP - MKOMAZI - TANZANIA |
|---|
Babu's Camp is situated in north-eastern Tanzania, within the newly gazetted Mkomazi National Park which borders Tsavo National Park in Kenya. Shadowed by the Usambara and Pare mountains, Mkomazi stretches along a semi-arid savanna arc of acacia covered beauty, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
Although less visited, it is home to animals that are difficult to see anywhere else in Tanzania. Mkomazi has 78 known species of animals and over 450 recorded bird species. It is an excellent birding destination and a place to walk and night drive. Mkomazi has a Rhino Sanctuary where Tony Fitzjohn has established Tanzania's first Black Rhino breeding program.
Beautifully set among baobabs and acacia, the 5 large walk-in safari tents and are comfortably furnished with a large hand-carved wooden bed (or twin beds), a wardrobe, changing area, safari chairs, and a writing desk. Each tent also has an attached bathroom with a flush toilet and hot shower.
Special attention has been paid to the aesthetic, both in the placement of the tents and the furnishings inside. The tent interiors reflect the land around them - soft earth tones, natural fabrics, stone, wood, and grass all used to create a peaceful, harmonious existence with nature.
Accommodation
5 large, walk-in tents, each measuring 10 m (30 feet) long and comfortably furnished with wooden bed, wardrobe, changing area, safari chairs and a writing desk. Soft energy-efficient lighting is provided throughout the tents and camp. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with flush toilets and hot showers. 3 tents have a large, double bed and 2 have twin beds. It is easy to add an extra bed to make a triple room.
