Jongomero Camp is a beautiful camp situated in the Ruaha National Park. Stretching along the Jongomero River, it offers eight stylish, thatched tents raised atop platforms. Often the river is just a dry sand bed, but it can fill with water following rainfall. The en-suite bathrooms with open-air showers and double basins are very spacious. The large veranda offers guests the opportunity to simply relax and enjoy the views across the riverbed - it is also the perfect place to take morning coffee or lounge on the Zanzibar bed with a book.

The open-plan lounge/bar and dining room comprise two separate units joined by a short wooden walkway. Dinner is often served under the stars on a mezzanine platform built close to the river.

Life in Jongomero is relatively relaxed. Game drives usually begin around 08:00 when the animals congregate at the river. Those who prefer to stay at camp can relax in the only pool in Ruaha National Park and enjoy the water's cooling effect on those sizzling days during the hot months.

At 20'220 km², Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and still relatively rarely visited by tourists. The park was expanded to include the Usanga Wetlands in 2008 and comprises 40% miombo woodland with open savannahs, spectacular baobab, acacia and palm forests as well as several springs, swamps and seasonal floodplains making up the rest. The park is bordered in the north by the Mzombe River and in the south by the Great Ruaha River. The Usunga Game Reserve and three further game reserves surround the park almost entirely. Most camps are located at a height of approximately 800 to 1000 m above sea level; the park's highest plateau, however, sits at an impressive 1868 m above sea level. A 50 to 100 m high escarpment is testament to the fact that the Ruaha National Park is also part of the Great Rift Valley.

The park is accessed via air from Arusha or Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a visit to Nyerere National Park. The flight to Nyerere National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 mins; the flight to Dar Es Salaam or Arusha, including all stops en-route, takes approx. 2.5 hrs.

Jongomero has its own airstrip. The drive from here to camp takes just several minutes. Jongomero Camp is situated on the very edge of the Jongomero River, which later becomes the Great Ruaha River, in the western part of Ruaha National Park.

Siwandu Camp comprises two logistically separated camps: North Camp with six tents and South Camp with seven tents. The rooms are all identical, only the main buildings differ.

The tents sit nestled beneath shade-giving trees atop low platforms built slightly back from the shore of Lake Nzerakera. Each spacious, octagonal tent is equipped with a double bed, ceiling fan, en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower and spacious deck to the front and rear. A large thatched roof covers the whole, providing shade from the sun and protection from the rain. A small, pretty desk and several chairs and tables are set out upon the veranda. The rooms are all very spacious, romantic and built to exacting standards.

South Camp
South Camp's lounge and dining room are raised upon stilts and offer fantastic views of the lake. Meals are served individually. A large swimming pool can be found close to reception.

North Camp
The main building at North Camp is built at ground level (including swimming pool) with the intention of appearing smaller and more intimate. North Camp is ideal for families or groups and may also be booked privately.

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as northern part of the Selous Game Reserve, covers 30'893 km2 of wilderness and is twice as large as the Serengeti. The area was declared a National Park in 2019 and is since the largest National Park in Tanzania. At 600 km long, the Rufiji River is the longest river in East Africa and the park's life-giving vein. This ramified river system includes five large lakes (from east to west): Lake Tagalala, Lake Manze, Lake Nzerakera, Lake Siwandu and Lake Mzizimia.

The park comprises 75% miombo woodland, but most noticeable are the many wonderful palms, particularly the borassus and doum palms, as well as the many candelabra trees (euphorbia candelabrum).

Nyerere National Park is accessed by light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a trip to Ruaha National Park. The flight to Ruaha National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 minutes; the flight to Dar Es Salaam takes approx. 35 minutes.

Siwandu Camp is situated on the banks of Lake Nzerakera. The drive from Mtemere Airstrip takes approx. 45 minutes.
