Kwihala Camp sits on a seasonal riverbed in Ruaha’s central plains, a small Asilia property built specifically for travellers seeking the depth of wildlife found on Tanzania’s southern circuit without the vehicle density of the north.
A small number of spacious tents raised on wooden platforms, simply furnished with private verandas overlooking the riverbed.
Home-style meals taken communally, with the camp’s small size encouraging genuine conversation with its experienced guiding team.
Game drives across Ruaha’s varied habitats, from riverine woodland to open baobab plains, with walking safaris available on request.
Ruaha’s position at the meeting point of East and southern African ecosystems gives it an unusually diverse species list, including both greater kudu and sable antelope alongside classic East African game.
The dry riverbed in front of camp draws consistent wildlife traffic even outside game drive hours, worth watching directly from the mess tent.
Asilia’s Ruaha operations contribute to the park’s ranger and anti-poaching capacity in one of Tanzania’s most under-resourced protected areas relative to its size.
