Kwihala Camp
Those in the know, seek out safari adventures in Africa’s less-travelled wildernesses like remote Ruaha, which is also host to 10% of the world’s lion population. This game-rich conservation area and the sheer comfort of the camp provide an exceptional wilderness experience. The main area – with its tented lounge and dining room – is the social heart of the camp. Meals are shared either under canvas or in the alfresco dining area beside the campfire, accompanied only by the stirring night sounds of the bush.
Ruaha National Park in Tanzania is the largest protected area in East Africa with a total area of 20 226 km2 (7 809 sq miles). The park gets its name from the Great Ruaha River that flows along the southeastern border and is where the best game viewing can be found.
More than 570 bird species have been identified in Ruaha, including the curious-looking but impressive hornbill, which calls the park its home. Other animals that are abundant here include cheetah, leopard, wild dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, hippos, African buffalo and sable antelope. Since 2005, the park has been a Lion Conservation Unit.
