Campsite Room

This small, thatched oval room has two single beds and a mosquito net with mattresses, bedding and towels provided. It can be booked for $36 pppn.

Swimming

Swimming is safe as there are no crocodiles, and bilharzia is not known from the Musamfushi and Mutinondo rivers. Please respect the currents near waterfalls and when the river is in flood, as they can be strong and dangerous.

We also ask that you be aware that riverside rocks can be steep and slippery, and take care when getting in and out. 

Refuse

As guests are probably aware, plastic and metal waste can be hazard for wildlife and the environment, even if buried or burnt. We do not have a waste-collection service at Mutinondo Wilderness, so we ask that campers take any non-compostable waste that they generate away with them - so please bring suitable bins or bags for this purpose. Compostable waste - such as food, cardboard and paper (but please no glossy paper) - can be disposed of in the bins provided. 

Thank for helping us to keep the Mutinondo Wilderness Area pristine.
