Your Destination

Tanzania is a magical land that is packed with excitement and wonder. Perched on the edge of the African continent and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s weather and climate is varied with Warm and sunny days followed by cool and balmy nights. Whether you’re on a safari on the Ruaha National Park, taking a boat ride on the mighty Rufiji River or enjoying the tropical beaches of the Swahili Coast, the temperatures are always welcoming and gentle.

Ruaha National Park - Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of about 13,000 square kilometres. The park is part of a more extensive ecosystem, which includes Rungwa Game Reserve, Usangu Game Reserve and several other protected areas. The Ruaha National Park is famous for its large population of elephants, with about 10,000 roaming the park. It is also frequented by birdwatchers, with 436 species having been identified of an estimated total of 475.

Selous Game Reserve - The Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest faunal reserves of the world, located in the south of Tanzania.The reserve covers a total area of 54,600 square kilometres and has additional buffer zones. Within the reserve, no permanent human habitation or permanent structures are permitted. Some of the typical animals of the savanna (for example elephants, hippopotami, African Wild Dog, cape buffalo and crocodiles) can be found in this park in larger numbers than in any other African game reserve or national park.

Swahili Coast - The tranquil Indian Ocean shores of Tanzania will relax and rejuvenate you as you walk along the sandy beaches, through the coastal forest or visit the local village of Gomvu. There is much opportunity for water sports, whale watching and turtle watching.

Selous Game Reserve
This must be the largest unspoilt game reserve in Africa. The reserve is named after the late Captain Frederick Courteney Selous, a famous elephant hunter who was killed by a German sniper in 1917. General accessibility to the 55,000 sq km reserve used to be difficult, however, there are now flights, and a convenient dirt road linking the park with other southern Tanzanian attractions. The reserve is immense, remote and wild and no human habitation is allowed within its boundaries, apart from within camps and lodges. Today it boasts some of Africa’s finest virgin bush, unchanged through centuries and inhabited by three quarters of a million wild animals. The river systems and gorges are fascinating, as are the swamps, woodlands and savannahs, all home to hippo, crocodile, elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, giraffe, waterbuck, baboon, leopards, lion, wild dog, eland, sable and roan, to mention just a few of the species. The bird-life is also extremely rich.. Game drives are by open four-wheel drive vehicle or by boat, a wonderfully peaceful way to view game.

Ruaha
At 13,000 sq km, Ruaha is not much smaller than the Serengeti. However, only a fraction has been developed for tourism. For those seeking adventure, this park should be on the list. Its landscape is fascinating and the wilderness vast. Here, rocky outcrops, steep gorges, wooded forests and miombo woodlands all centre around the flood plains of the great sandy Ruaha River.

Jongomero, Ruaha National Park, Standard Room, Full Board
Blending in beautifully with its surroundings, the camp is tucked below a dappled riverine canopy on the banks of the Jongomero sand river, a natural pathway for animals in search of water. Positioned on one of the meanders with sweeping views of the bank beyond lies the camp bar, lounge and restaurant; an open wooden terrace shaded by a high thatched roof and filled with sumptuous sofas and striking furniture made of reclaimed dhow wood. It is an inviting spot to relax with a cup of tea while leafing through one of the camp library’s reference books or socialise with camp managers and fellow guests around the bar with an ice cold drink in hand. Alternatively, on warm days, laze around the pool and enjoy the sights and sounds of being so close to nature.
