Kwihala Camp

Ruaha National Park, Tanzania

Silver price level

Mango Opinion

This is a simple but comfortable camp that offers a great way to visit fantastic Ruaha National Park. Ruaha is one of the most wild and remote safari destinations in East Africa...a must see!

Kwihala is set deep in the forest of Ruaha National Park.  Ruaha is one of the largest national parks on the continent, a place so vast no person can know it completely, and few have tried. It is simply too wild. But you need not even move from the camp as game often passes through Kwihala, exposed as it is to the wild.

The six guest tents are furnished in an understated manner, but are spacious and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower. The shower is the traditional safari bucket type, with cool water during the day and hot water at night or on request at any time.  The tented lounge and dining room is the social heart of the camp, where you’ll enjoy meals with fellow guests and chill out in the afternoon. 

To explore Ruaha is to return to a place more primal than you have ever known. Situated far from other camps in Ruaha, you will see little if any human activity and be able to absorb the wild in exclusivity. Game drives can be taken in vehicles or on foot under the guidance of our specialist walking guides who will bring you closer to the wild than you’ve ever been before, an often thrilling experience in an area renowned for its concentration of predators and big game.  Kwihala prides itself on its high standard of guiding and the camp’s guides are renowned amongst safari enthusiasts for their intimate knowledge of nature and the particular wonders of Ruaha.
