Kigelia Camp with Moonlight Tours Expedition: A Hidden Gem in Ruaha National Park
Nestled amidst a grove of Kigelia Africana trees—known for their unique sausage-shaped pods and scarlet blossoms—Kigelia Camp is an enchanting retreat in the heart of Ruaha National Park. Located along the Ifuguru Sand River, this intimate camp is surrounded by one of Africa's most biodiverse ecosystems, where Southern and Eastern African species converge, creating a remarkable overlap of flora and fauna found nowhere else.
Explore Ruaha’s vast wilderness, where iconic predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs roam freely. With its exceptional variety of wildlife, including rare antelopes such as roan, sable, and eland, as well as abundant birdlife, Ruaha is a photographer's dream. The Great Ruaha River teems with hippos and crocodiles, offering spectacular game-viewing opportunities.
Kigelia Camp is a throwback to the golden age of safaris, combining rustic elegance with a focus on the untouched beauty of the surrounding wilderness. With only six luxurious tents, the camp offers an intimate and exclusive experience for travelers seeking solitude and adventure.
