Attractions
Although the
second largest in Tanzania, the reserve is perhaps the least
well-known and not subject to the tourist pressures of the
better-known parks - and yet to connoisseurs it is without
doubt one of the most spectacular in Africa. The “Ruaha”
comprises of a total conservation area of 10 300 square
kilometers. The park is located within and along the Great
Rift Valley. This presents an ecosystem and range of
wildlife from Plains Game to the elusive Roan and Sable
antelope. Ruaha’s remoteness has worked to the advantage of
the park from the point of limiting development. That's why
this allows only those tourist activities that contribute to
a genuine understanding and appreciation of park resources
to an extent that natural, aesthetic and scenic values are
not compromised. The Ruaha covers a transition zone where
Eastern and Southern African species of both fauna and flora
meet.
Jongomero Camp
offers guests the experience of extreme isolation and
wilderness. The camp is situated under tall Acacia trees
in the remotest area of the southwestern sector of the
park, along the Jongomero Sand River. From your canvas
hideaway, you can observe at close quarters rare species
of birds and animals to include lesser kudu, striped
hyena, sable and roan antelope. The camp presents top
quality accommodation units comprising eight
well-appointed tents, tented dining facilities, giving a
'Classic Explorers' theme.

wild animals as they descend from the hills to quench their
thirst and nibble on the green grass. The dining bandas and
bars, in elevated positions above the river, combine comfort
