Essential Destinations

Essential Destinations Tanzania is a tour operator and bush camp owner specialising in southern Tanzania. We offer conservation-minded safari experiences off the beaten track at our two properties, Lake Manze camp in Nyerere National Park (previously part the iconic Selous Game Reserve) and Mdonya Old River camp in Ruaha National Park.
Essential Destinations was created by a team of ecologists with the belief that the best way to keep Tanzania’s wilderness truly wild is to champion respectful and sustainable eco-tourism. We believe that responsible tourism is the answer to the conservation of natural resources, historical sites, and beauty.
