Kigelia Ruaha
The Selous & Ruaha, Tanzania
- Price on request
- Camps
- 6 Tent/s
Kigelia Ruaha is located in the best wildlife area of Ruaha National Park. Here you will find giant baobabs, big cats, great herds of elephant, greater and lesser kudu, the rare and magnificent sable, as well as all the smaller creatures.
The camp itself has just six airy tents set beneath the boughs of the Sausage Tree (Kigelia Africana) after which it was named. It has a charm and
simplicity which means that it highlights the surrounding landscape rather than detracts from it.
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 magical.
Activities include game drives and night game drives, bush walks, bush picnics and sundowners.

Region
With Selous standing as the largest Game Reserve in Africa, and Ruaha as the largest National Park in Tanzania, both understandably boast a faunal paradise.
The Reserve covers a total area of 50,000 square kilometres at the heart of southern Tanzania, Selous' wildlife and its stunning riverine scenery rarely fail to impress. African bush elephants, lions and Cape buffalo can all be seen with ease, as they can be found in larger numbers than in any other African game reserve or national park. Selous is also home to Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos and over 350 species of birds and reptile. Enjoy a safari or take a boat trip along Rufiji River for some unparalleled water-based wildlife watching.
With Tanzania’s largest elephant population, estimated at 12,000, and over 570 species of birds, one can see why Ruaha captures the hearts of its visitors. Wild and striking topography, especially around the Great Ruaha River, is home to crocodiles, hippos and wading birds, as well as typical African animals such as cheetah, wild dog and giraffe.
For a taste of quintessential Africa, these two places are definitely a must-go.
