Tanzania - Jongomero

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

Jongomero is a classic luxury tented camp set in the Southern most expanse of the Ruaha National Park. Located on the banks of the seasonal Jongomero River the camp ensures a sense of intimacy in a truly undiscovered wilderness.
Accommodation at Jongomero consists of eight large well-appointed tented suites, under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private veranda. All are en-suite with hot and cold running water and ambient 240v lighting. The public area is beautifully located in the deep shade of an ancient African Ebony tree with uninterrupted views of the Jongomero River bed. Dining is an adventure: a combination of table d’hote, elegant buffets, al fresco dinners under the stars, campfire cooking and classic safari picnics. The dining and living areas are both original and very comfortable offering a great advantage to take in the sights and surrounds of the African bush that surrounds the camp, as does the natural rock pool for those hot days. Jongomero Camp is the ultimate in luxury safari accommodation.

Game drives are taken in open 4-wheel drive vehicles. The wildlife in additional to plains game and predators include elusive wild dog and the rarer antelopes such as Sable, Roan and Kudu. Birding in Ruaha is unparalleled with some 530 species recorded.
