    Insider tips

    Kigelia Ruaha provides a unique experience, surrounded by ancient baobab forests and overlooking the Ifuguru River and despite its beauty, Ruaha remains relatively undiscovered.
    Ruaha is well known as having one of the highest populations of lions left in Africa as well as sizeable elephant and buffalo herds, not to mention a plethora of other plains game and predators.
    With only 6 tents and one family unit, it is one of the smaller and more intimate of the camps in Ruaha.

    I would highly recommend this camp, the outstanding staff, wildlife and setting, creates a truly magical experience
    “
    Kigelia was all that we hoped for, & the game viewing exceeded our expectations given that it was the rainy season. The camp was very intimate & staff went the extra mile to make our stay memorable
    “
    We spent 5 nights in Kigelia, a quiet little and rustic camp with a super friendly and caring staff, lovely comfortable tent, excellent food. A superb savannah strewn with majestic baobabs and herds of wildlife. We never got tired of watching all these wonders. A pure quietude and so much happiness away from the bustle and conflicts in the world. A kind of back to basics … though in very privileged conditions.
    “
    As always with Nomad, the welcome, kindness, humour, professionalism, food, guiding, vehicles, comfort and sleeping were absolutely top class and memorable.
