Kigelia Ruaha

Set in a secluded grove of Kigelia Africana or 'Sausage' trees, high on the banks of the Ifuguru Sand River, in the Ruaha National Park, Kigelia is an exclusive and totally secluded camp. The backdrop of a Baobab forest, rocky hills and the Great Ruaha River makes the camp incomparable.

Our understated little bush-camp has been in the beating eastern heart of the park for years, where the wildlife is most concentrated. Sorties from here, encountering the great mammals of Africa, can be thrilling and hard to tear yourself away from. So, in camp we retreat - but with Nature up very close - a quiet, canvas refuge, only disturbed by our elephant visitors. They just don’t make them like this anymore.

The Ruaha National Park boasts a spectacular array of animals and birds, so our activities during the day are varied to include game viewing by either vehicle or on foot. At all times our guests are accompanied by expert guides who have many years of experience and have a deep knowledge of Ruaha. You will be invited to design your own program of activities in consultation with the guides to maximize the quality and pace of your experience according to your own particular interests and desires.
