Stay at Kwihala Camp

For travellers in search of true wilderness, Kwihala is a dream destination. Set in the Ruaha National Park, this frontier-style camp offers unparalleled access to the park’s huge populations of wildlife. As diverse as the wildlife is the Ruaha eco-system, with highly experienced guides offering a rare chance to explore the park’s rich evergreen woodland, baobab forests and sweeping grasslands. With just six elegantly comfortable en-suite tents, a stay at Kwihala offers an intimate safari experience. Daily game excursions, night drives and walking safaris offer a remarkable insight into the wild lands of Ruaha. At the end of the day, flickering lanterns and a crackling fire await guests, where adventures are shared and the next day’s discoveries dreamed of.

With just six simple but luxurious guest tents set in this untouched frontier, Kwihala is close to perfection for safari

enthusiasts. Kwihala prides itself on its high standard of guiding and the camps guides are renowned amongst safari enthusiasts for their intimate knowledge of nature and the particular wonders of Ruaha.

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.

But you need not even move from the camp as game often passes through Kwihala, exposed as it is to the wild.
