Highlights
-
'The park that time forgot. Ruaha is Africa the way it once was.'
-
Beautiful big elephant herds, large prides of lion, wild dog, plentiful cheetah and the elusive leopard - just some of the highlights
-
Nomad Safaris' fantastic guides get you up close to the magnificent wildlife
-
Off-the-beaten-track, low impact safari as it should be
Kigelia Ruaha is where you go when your soul seeks the humbling solitude of giant baobabs, the exhilaration of encountering Africa's big cats or great herds of elephant; where the focus is on experiencing nature and not the gold taps, and where you can feel at home while simultaneously enjoying the care of a dedicated team.
?The camp itself has just six airy tents set beneath the boughs of the Sausage Tree (Kigelia Africana) after which it was named. It has a charm and simplicity which means that it highlights the surrounding landscape rather than detracts from it. Falling asleep under canvas to the calls of leopard, and waking in the dappled light of the sun as it peers through the bush is simply magic.
Each tent also has a private star bed to enjoy a night star-gazing and experiencing the untamed Ruaha wilderness. Our meticulously crafted star beds, seamlessly integrated with your tent, invites you to embrace the untamed Ruaha.
