Kigelia Ruaha
‘Where the focus is on experiencing nature’
This understated little bush-camp has been in the beating eastern heart of the park for years, where the wildlife is most concentrated. Stories from here, encountering the great mammals of Africa, can be thrilling and hard to tear oneself away from.
The camp has six airy tents set beneath the boughs of the Sausage Tree (Kigelia Africana) after which it was named. It has a charm and simplicity means that it highlights the surrounding landscape. 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.
Dining in the bush is always a magical experience, with different options and so many beautiful settings to choose from. Indoor and outdoor dining, bush breakfasts, picnic lunches in the shade of kigelia trees, fire-side sundowners and private dining possible (all are weather dependant).
