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.

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.

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.
