General information

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 wildlife connoisseurs it is without doubt one of the most spectacular in Africa.

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 at Jongomero comprises eight large and well-appointed tented suites, 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.

Location

Jongomero is located along the banks of the seasonal Jongomero River, in Ruaha National Park, Southern Tanzania.

Activities

At Jongomero the aim is to show you the full variety of scenery, flora, fauna, and the different wildlife that makes Ruaha so diverse and interesting. 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. 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.

Rooms

Jongomero consists of 8 spacious tents on raised platforms with en-suite bathrooms, hot & cold running water and a spacious front veranda ensuring maximum privacy with views. The beds are made from dhow wood and are very welcoming.

Wildlife

Covering a conservation area of 10,300 square kilometres in the south-west of Tanzania, 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. The proliferation of plains game in the park 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.
