Kwihala is a relatively new tented camp in Ruaha with simple, well designed tents and, being semi permanent, can be moved seasonally maintaining a very light footprint. The camp achieves a great balance between wilderness experience and game viewing on one hand and comfort with a degree of style on the other. Read more?
So far we've been impressed by the standards that we've seen there and there's no doubt that its small size is one of its chief attractions. During the dry season, Kwihala is usually located not far from Mbagi, close to (and with views over) the Mwagusi Sand River and within a stone's throw of some of Ruaha's best game viewing areas. The camp is small - it only has 6 tents - so as you'd expect, there's an intimacy that is very appealing.
The tents have been designed well, subtly decorated with soft browns and creams, dotted with their Baobab emblem and there's plenty of space and no shortage of comfort. The bathrooms are all ensuite, with traditional bucket showers, which work very well and provide a pleasing authentic and adventurous feel to your stay. Kwihala is a good option for those who'd like to experience the vitality and exhilaration of a tented camp, but don't want to sacrifice too many of life's comforts. All in all, not a bad mix.
Location - Ruaha
The dry season in Ruaha National Park rivals any location in Tanzania for sheer action and variety. This is somewhere you'll see a wide range of species from lion, buffalo and elephant to Greater and Lesser Kudu, Sable and Roan antelope and even a good chance of wild dogs. Low tourist numbers and open sided vehicles add to the experience. Jump to page?
