Jongomero Camp

Superbly isolated Jongomero camp lies in the far south of Ruaha on the banks of a seasonal sand river which bears the same name.

The camp is tucked away among some shady riverine vegetation not far from permanent water, thereby attracting many animals into the camp area.

Being the only camp situated in this area of the park, you will experience unmatched privacy and a true wilderness experience.

There are eight large and well-appointed tented suites, all built on raised wooden platforms and under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private veranda.  Each suite has its own en suite bathroom with double vanity unit and hot and cold running water (solar heated with backup immersion heater).

The dining and living areas are both original and very comfortable offering a great vantage to take in the sights and sounds of the African bush that surrounds the camp.  There is also a “hippo friendly” swimming pool for those hot days.

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 public area is beautifully located in the deep shade of an ancient African ebony tree with uninterrupted views of the Jongomero River bed.

The camp itself is not fenced and animals are free to pass through as they please. Elephants are daily and nightly visitors to the camp, vast herds of buffalo come within close proximity to the camp itself.  Lion occasionally pass through and once every so often the tracks of a leopard can be seen winding down the main pathway as they make their way through the camp.
