Jongomero Tented Camp

Jongomero Tented Camp is a perfect destination for families with older children looking for an adventurous yet serene African safari experience.

Situated in the remote Ruaha National Park, the camp provides an exclusive retreat where families can immerse themselves in Africa’s natural beauty without the usual crowds. The spacious tented suites are built on raised wooden platforms, each with a private deck overlooking the seasonal Jongomero River—a wildlife corridor where elephants, giraffes, and other animals often pass by. Families can relax in comfort, surrounded by the tranquil sights and sounds of the African wilderness, while the camp’s elevated pool offers a perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.

For older children, the camp’s array of activities ensures an unforgettable experience. Daily private game drives allow for close encounters with elephants, lions, and other iconic wildlife, while walking safaris offer the thrill of exploring the bush on foot. Night drives provide a unique opportunity to spot elusive nocturnal creatures such as porcupines and bush babies. For the more adventurous, fly camping presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sleep under the stars, deep in the heart of the savannah.

Ruaha National Park itself is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, offering an unspoiled landscape teeming with wildlife. It’s home to the country’s largest population of elephants, as well as rare species like the sable antelope. The park’s remote location and untouched wilderness make it an ideal choice for families seeking a more authentic and intimate safari experience.
