Kigelia Lodge, Ruaha
Kigelia Ruaha is a luxury safari camp located in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. The camp is made up of just 6 tented suites, each located along a dry riverbed, and providing an intimate, indulgent safari experience. Each suite is spacious, with large comfortable beds, and en-suite bathroom facilities. The bathrooms are unique and quaint- the showers are bucket showers and open to the sky, providing a delightfully rustic experience. The camp itself consists of a main lounge and dining area, as well as a fire pit, around which nighttime drinks are enjoyed. Meals are also often served outdoors, surrounded by the great African wilderness. Traditional safari game drives are conducted out into Ruaha National Park, which is home to a diversity of wildlife species, including the famous Big 5. The guides are experts in their fields, and enhance the safari experience considerably. Sundowner stops during game drives allow guests to enjoy a drink out in the bush taking in some of Africa's most beautiful baobab-infused sunsets!
