THE FACILITIES

Public area is beautifully located in the deep shade of an ancient African Ebony tree with uninterrupted views of the Jongomero River bed and the bush beyond.
Dining is an adventure: a combination of table d’hote, elegant buffets, al fresco dinners under the stars, campfire cooking and classic safari picnics.
International cuisine with a truly East African flavour

THE FACILITIES

The filtered swimming pool overlooks the Seasonal Jongomero River- allowing for cooling off while still keeping your eyes open for any wildlife activity

THE SAFARIS

Game drives in open 4-wheel drive vehicles
Walking safaris accompanied by National Parks Game scouts, and subject to their conditions and availability (Extra charge applicable)

THE VERDICT

Probably one of the most imaginatively designed safari camps in Tanzania with expert guides BUT just not in the best area of the park which is a crying shame because if the camp could be moved closer to the confluence or Ruaha River it would be difficult to criticise.
