Tanzania
Large camping area by the river under the trees just outside the Udzungwa National Park (no TANAPA fees apply!). Located about 10km from the highway. At least 6km of rocky tracks in which 4x4 would be very advised. Hiking to a waterfall possible outside the National Park. Baboons around, and apparently buffalos and elephants might be around too. You can bath in the stream, no crocodiles. No mobile network at all (internet and telephone). The caretaker can prepare food if informed in advance. Bucket shower and very clean longdrop toilets. 10,000 tzs ppn. Very neat and pleasant spot!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
At this moment Msosa campsite is not reachable via 4x4 because of washed away road sections. Only motorbikes will manage. Anyway, make sure to contact the manager Richard in advance because the
premises and the access paths
might be unmaintained.
From nearby Crocodile camp you can get to Msosa camp by organized boat tour and start your hiking from here. But the the touristic access to Udzungwa Mountains from this side seems not to be well-established currently and will require some time for arrangements.
Report Check-InFor the last 6km it took us 2hrs. Bigger trucks needs more time because they need to cut a lot more branches. After a lot of rain it will be a challenge. But the place is a really beautifull spot with very friendly caretakers.
