Set deep in the bush of Ruaha National Park, Kwihala Camp offers guests an intimate and exclusive safari experience within the largest National Park in Tanzania. The Ruaha offers plentiful wildlife and birdlife sightings all within an environment that remote and wild with very few other visitors to bump into.
Kwihala is set amongst towering baobabs and dense forests and offers up that exclusive safari experience that very one is after at a very reasonable price point.
Highlights of a safari here include; lions, known for hunting giraffes, buffalo and even elephants, walking safaris and night drives and of course finishing the day off with a glass of wine in hand sitting next to a roaring fire.
Kwihala comes highly recommended by us here at Uyaphi.com.
Accommodation at Kwihala is based around six large tented suites, all with en-suite bathroom facilities, bucket showers and flushing toilets.
Double bed and twin beds are available in the large bedrooms; all beds are draped in mosquito netting. A private verandah offers guests the chance to sit back and relax while watching the surrounding wildlife and birdlife pass by.
All meals are prepared in-house, from fresh breads and cakes to salads and sorbets, the talented team in the kitchen will in no doubt impress all visitors.
Breakfast is either a packed picnic option when on longer morning game drives or a cooked brunch on return. Lunches are light and delicious while dinners are a three-course affair served in the river bed or indoor in the rainy season.
Most special dietary requirements are catered for with advance notice.
Kwihala is designed in homage to those old expedition camps of yesteryear with a tented lounge and indoor dining area; this is the social heart of the camp. It is here that you gather in the morning and afternoons just before game drives, or simply sit back a read a book from the small library.
The outdoor area in front of the tented lounge is where you sit under a blanket of African stars around a fire sharing stories about the day's activities.
WiFi is available through the tented lounge and indoor dining area.
