Jongomero Tented Safari Camp is set on the banks of the seasonal Jongomero River in the remote south western corner of Ruaha - Tanzania’s second largest national park. This secluded camp is the only accommodation in a beautiful landscape characterised by rocky outcrops, mountain ranges and the Great Ruaha River.
Daily activities include game drives in open 4-wheel drive vehicles, all day drives with bush picnics, excellent birding and sipping sundowners while watching the hippos. Large elephant herds, wild dog, sable, both greater and lesser kudu, a plentiful predator population and more than 450 species of birds make Ruaha National Park a naturalist’s paradise. Do note though that walking safaris are not available at present.
Jongomero is an intimate camp with only eight safari tents. The tents have thatched roofs, and are raised on wooden platforms with large private decks overlooking the river. Each tented suite has a dhow wood Emperor bed and an en suite bathroom with twin hand basins and a spacious shower.
The comfortable dining and living areas are set in the shade of an African ebony tree and, on hot days, the natural rock pool is another great vantage point from which to take in the sights and sounds of the African bush. Dining at Jongomero includes table d'hôte, elegant buffets, al fresco dinners under the stars, campfire cooking and classic safari picnics. The food combines international cuisine with an East African flavous.
