Overview

 

LUXURY & COMFORT IN THE HEART OF WILDERNESS

 

Kichaka prides itself in operating in tough, remote and wild areas where the main emphasis is on the bush itself instead of opulent extravagance.  Nonetheless, even out here all the necessary luxuries are fully catered for by way of our small and intimate bush camps mixing the right amount of wild adventure with a secluded and truly authentic safari getaway.

 

From the back-to-basics nature of our flycamp to the more sophisticated luxury of our permanent tented camp you will never be more than a stone's throw away from a steaming hot shower with stunning scenic views, a comfortable bed to retire in after a hard day, friendly hosts, good food and most importantly, ice-filled Gin and Tonics to welcome in the starry nights.

 

  • Located in the Lunda area overlooking arguably the best view of the Great Ruaha River often filled with animal crossings.
  • Famous for their speciality of walking safaris with some of the finest elephant sightings on foot.
  • Intimate and charming camp which is home to owners Andrew Molinaro, Noelle Herzog & their son Huxley
  • Suitable for children 12 and above, however walking safaris are restricted to 16 and above.

  • Accommodation

     

    Each room consists of a central airy and spacious tent with thatched
    roof and raised platform base, open in the day to allow for views and breeze, but closed in the night for safety and complete bug protection. Adjoining each tent sits a lavish bathroom complete with flushing loo, bathtub and outdoor shower and because there is never too many options on how one can refresh oneself, on the other side of the tent is your own personal plunge pool for that instant gratification after your morning
    activities.

     

    The privacy and seclusion of the rooms contrast beautifully with the social feel and setup of the main area. Split into 3 sections, a relaxed lounge with comfy sofas with an information centre where you can admire the views or read a book with a cup of tea, a dedicated dining room where you can enjoy an excellent and varied menu of cuisine prepared by our chefs, and finally a central pool and well stocked “Star-Bar” to chat by the fire or admire the tremendous night sky.

  • Activities

     

    Our guides are specialists in all fields pertaining to nature so at all times you will be in experienced and well-seasoned hands, from learning how to use your newly acquired camera to get those top wildlife shots all the way to tracking a Lion on foot, nearly all interests can be catered for.

  • Ruaha National Park

     

    A trip to the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania is an exhilarating adventure into the unknown. Very few other wildernesses in Africa can convey the sheer isolation and expanse of this land that epitomises the Africa of ‘old’ that was felt in times gone by. Far far away from the ‘madding’ crowds which haunt the famous Northern Circuits, Ruaha lies in an untouched and incredibly remote area of Southern Tanzania, and is visited by relatively few tourists making it one of Africa’s wildest Parks for the safari enthusiast.

     

    Ruaha’s stunning, variable landscapes and habitats have ensured that a wealth of diversity occurs at all levels in its flora and fauna. Its tremendous size which encompasses entire ecosystems also contributes to the wonderful abundance of life that Ruaha possesses.

     

    Many creatures are of specialist habitats and unlike the more common generalists which scatter all of Africa’s National Parks, Ruaha boasts many near endemic, and uncommon species not seen in many other areas. This Park also contains one of the highest concentrations of Elephants
    in the world and during the dry season vast numbers of these pachyderms can be encountered making Ruaha one Africa’s greatest Elephant parks.
