awe-inspiring collection of beautiful landscapes
Standing on the banks of the seasonal Jongomero Sand River, the Jongomero camp is a remote, shaded spot at the heart of one of East Africa’s most revered – and little visited – game parks.
The Ruaha National Park is an awe-inspiring collection of beautiful landscapes, from riverine valleys to rugged rocky outcrops, from iconic baobab forests to rolling plains and hillsides. And it is here that you’ll find some of East Africa’s most diverse animals; from lion to leopard, elephant to hippo, zebra to impala, dikdik to crocodile, honey badgers to gazelle – plus upwards of 560 recorded species of indigenous and migratory birds; a complete treat for confirmed twitchers.
Reasons enough to make sure that Jongomero is one of the destinations on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Tanzania.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
