Number of Rooms: 6
Location: The Selous & Ruaha National Parks, Tanzania
The intimate Kwihala Camp has just six en suite guest tents, allowing a handful of guests a real 'frontier style' safari experience within the wild Ruaha National Park.
The traditional canvas tents can be set up as twins or doubles and are designed in an art deco style, with simple furniture and splashes of bright colour. All of the tents have private verandas and large gauze-screened windows, ensuring the beautiful surroundings remain the focus. Practicalities are also catered for and each tent has an en suite bathroom (with a warm or cold bucket shower), a dressing area, a desk and a safety deposit box.
The large communal tent is a great spot to chat with your camp mates and share stories of the day's safari activities. During the day hearty breakfasts and lunches are served here, or you can opt for a picnic breakfast while out on a game drive. Three course dinners are served under the stars and include a selection of local, freshly prepared dishes.
Guests at Kwihala Camp are located in an ideal spot for safaris in the vast Ruaha, where large populations of big cats, buffalo and elephant reside - in fact, the Ruaha is home to 10% of the world's lion population. Head out in search of this wildlife on morning and evening game drives or walking safaris. During the day, kick back and relax at camp with a good book, afternoon tea and maybe even a siesta!
Why We Love It
The option of taking a picnic breakfast on your morning game drive means hunger is kept at bay and you're able to enjoy as much time with the wildlife as possible.
