Location:-
For anyone seeking a true African
wilderness experience, a visit to Ruaha National Park is essential.
Although the second largest in Tanzania, the reserve is perhaps
the least well-known and yet to connoisseurs it is without doubt
one of the most spectacular in Africa.
Covering a conservation area of 10,300 square kilometres in the
south-west of the country, Ruaha sprawls within and along the
Great Rift Valley, covering a unique transition zone where the
Eastern and Southern species of both fauna and flora meet against
a dramatic topographical backdrop.
Amidst this magnificent setting is Jongomero Camp, a luxury safari
camp in Africa set under shady acacia trees on the banks of the
Jongomero Sand River in the remote south-western sector of Ruaha.
Being the only Camp situated in this area of the Park ensures
unmatched privacy.

Accommodation:- Accommodation

under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private
veranda. The dining and living areas are both original and very
comfortable offering a great vantage to take in the sights and
sounds of the African bush that surrounds the Camp, as does the
natural rock pool for those hot days.
Activities:- Our
team of qualified guides will design your daily wildlife viewing
program to both suit you, the changing seasons, and the movements
of wildlife ensuring you the best possible experience whilst in
Ruaha, by whatever means is most appropriate. With
over 530 species of bird, a huge population of buffalo, elephant
and lion, plus a unique combination of both Lesser and Greater
Kudu, Roan Antelope and African Wild Dog, Ruaha offers as definitive
a cross-section of wildlife as any park on the continent.
Wildlife:- This
is one of the few Tanzanian parks where sightings of the rarer
antelope, such as the Sable, the Roan and both Lesser & Greater
Kudu, are a probability rather than a possibility. The
proliferation of plains game in the park also ensures that the
larger predators - leopard and large prides of lion - are unusually
active. The bird life, too, is unparalleled with some 530 species
recorded.
Access:- Scheduled
flights from Dar es Salaam as well as Arusha, with airstrip just
10min from the camp.
Transfers included between Jongomero airstrip and camp
Child Policy:- Children
