Nomad Kigelia Camp is located in the forests of Kigelia Africana (“Sausage” trees), on the banks of the Ifuguru Sand River.

It’s an exclusive and secluded camp in a beautiful location, with huge baobab trees, rocky hills and the Great Ruaha river in the background.

This semi-permanent camp offers a tailor-made private experience.

Nomad Kigelia Camp consists of six luxurious, spacious tents, each with a bathroom with an open-air shower.

Delicious meals are served in the dining tent. There is also a lounge area with library.

Mwagusi Safari Camp is situated in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s largest national park, situated in the southern circuit of Tanzania.

This well-established camp was started in 1987 and is an expression of the unwavering love and passion of its owner Chris Fox for the Tanzanian bush, its wildlife and its people.

Each of the thirteen spacious canvas tents at Mwagusi Safari Camp are under a cool thatched roof and are further constructed from local natural materials.

The food at Mwagusi Safari Camp is freshly prepared each day, using local products supplied by nearby farmers and the nearest market.

Mdonya Old River Camp is located in a remote region of southern Ruaha National Park. The main area of the park is the southern boundary by the Ruaha river.  Mdonya is luckily north of the few other camps in this area.  It is a 45 minute drive from the airstrip.

Mdonya Old River Camp has twelve comfortable permanent tents in the shade of large plane trees.

The restaurant and lounge are situated in two large tents with a stunning view of the dried-out river bed and animals that pass by.

Set in Tanzania’s iconic Ruaha National Park, this small frontier-style camp provides exceptional access to the park’s huge populations of big cats, buffalo and elephants. Relatively unexplored, Ruaha is one of the largest national parks in Africa, ensuring a true wilderness experience.

Kwihala is an intimate six-bedroom camp where simple excellence is the order of the day. The adventurous will relish the remarkable concentration of wildlife roaming this diverse landscape, which ranges from baobab trees and granite kopjes to open plains with cooling rivers and woodland valleys.

With the option of bush walks and night drives with our highly knowledgeable guides, safari doesn’t get better than this.

This pioneer style camp is the main base of the Kichaka Expeditions operations and as close as we could get to calling a ‘home’.  Our seasonal Frontier camp has a ‘leave no trace’ doctrine. Essentially there are no permanent fixtures here, the entire operation can and does occasionally relocate to completely new areas leaving absolutely no sign that man was there in the first place.

About as comfortable as it is possible to get in such isolation, the seasonal camp has 3 en-suite spacious, open, airy and well furnished tents holding a maximum of only 8 guests at a time providing one of Africa’s more intimate bush experiences and a comfortable base to explore the surrounding wildlife and terrain by both foot and vehicle.

The camp is backed up with a large and well appointed mess tent where guests can lounge away swapping the days stories over ice cold beverages and three-course meals while being attended to by our hosts and their team of friendly and enthusiastic staff.

Stylish and with a slightly colonial edge, Jongomero Camp is similar to its sister camp Siwandu.

It has smooth and seamless service and plenty of luxury, but despite this, Jongomero has retained a real sense of wilderness.

Located in the far south of Ruaha National Park, Jongomero is a long way from any other camp.

This part of Ruaha is both quiet and spectacular − it’s a real wilderness experience. It is extremely unlikely that you will come across any other vehicles while on safari around Jongomero.

Set high on a rocky kopje overlooking a landscape dotted with spiky palms and bulbous baobabs, Jabali Ridge is a sophisticated base from which to explore Ruaha National Park.

The remarkable beauty of Ruaha is not only in the landscape and its diversity of flora and fauna, or the impressive big game, but in the feeling of having the wilderness all to yourself.

The luxurious Jabali Ridge consists of eight suites and a private villa, hidden between rock formations.

There is a spectacular swimming pool with a view over a valley full of baobab trees, a spa with wonderful massages, a gin bar and lots of space to relax after your safari.

Hodi Hodi Ruaha Bush Camp is located eight kilometers outside the entrance to Ruaha National Park.

The Camp is situated high on a hill of the western Rift valley.

The horseshoe-shaped valley – with a beautiful view of the sunset – is the backdrop.

Hodi Hodi Ruaha Bush Camp consists of eight comfortable covered tent cottages, each with fantastic views over miles and miles of pristine Africa.

The bar, dining area and lounge overlook the watering hole, where many wildlife come to drink.
