Perfectly located in the heart of the Ruaha bush
Only disturbed by the majestic elephant visitors, the understated and tranquil luxury safari camp of Kigelia is hidden away in the beating eastern heart of Ruaha National Park. With its wonderful location, those who stay at Kigelia for their tailor-made Tanzania safari holidays will lose themselves in nature and will undoubtedly encounter some of the greatest mammals of Africa.
Set beneath the boughs of Sausage Trees lies six charming and airy en-suite tents, where each room is built on the edge of the dry riverbed and equipped with safari-style bucket showers. The tents feature their own exclusive star beds, so you can sleepout under a canopy of a million stars and listen to the sounds of the night wildlife coming alive.
Perfectly positioned in one of the best areas for wildlife in Ruaha National Park, you can truly immerse yourself in the epic wilderness of the African bush with bush walks and 4×4 game drives, all of which are led by an experienced Nomad guide. With a stay at Kigelia, you can expect to see larges herds of elephant, an array of big cats as well as some of the most prolific birdlife of Tanzania.
