Jongomero Camp
The Camp is situated in the southwest of Tanzania, Ruaha sprawls within and along an ancient arm of the Great Rift Valley, covering a unique transition zone where the Eastern and Southern species of both fauna and flora meet against a dramatic topographical background.
Jongomero has eight large and well-appointed tented suites, under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private veranda.
Positioned on one of the meanders, with sweeping views of the bank beyond, lies the camp bar, lounge, and restaurant; which comprises an open wooden terrace shaded by a high thatched roof with comfortable sofas and furniture made of reclaimed dhow wood.
Accommodation
The accommodation at Jongomero comprises eight large and well-appointed tented suites, built on raised wooden platforms, under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private instant veranda that overlooks the riverbed.
Jongomero is an inviting spot to relax with a cup of tea while leafing through one of the camp library’s reference books or socialize with camp managers and fellow guests around the bar with an ice-cold drink.
Alternatively, laze around the pool on warm days, and enjoy the sights and sounds of being so close to nature.
Snuggle under warming quilts in an enormous reclaimed-dhow wooden bed; fall asleep to the sounds of Africa beyond the canvas, and wake up to the morning tea/coffee tray. You will often find animals ambling past your tent in search of water and food—the ultimate remote off-the-beaten-track safari experience.
Dining and food
Jongomero is an inviting spot to relax with a good book in hand or socialize with camp managers and fellow guests around the bar with an ice-cold drink in hand.
Alternatively, laze around the pool on warm days, and enjoy the sights and sounds of being so close to nature. The food at this camp is quite delicious, coffee or tea and a snack are always part of the wake-up call, then breakfast is served in the dining room. Lunch, after the morning game drive, is served family-style around a large table overlooking the riverbed.

Due to safety concerns and other guests’ enjoyment of the camps, we accept children from six years old with international bookings and children from 10 years old with resident bookings. At Jongomero we have a limit of two children (aged 6 – 11) in camp at any one time. The camp is unfenced and children are the responsibility of their parent or guardian, at all times.
