Field Camp Description
Set on high granite banks overlooking a broad bend of the Great Ruaha River, this wild camp places you in the heart of Tanzania’s most predator-dense southern park. Massive baobab trees dominate the landscape, and during dry months, elephants and buffalo spend hours digging for sweet water in the sand river below your private tent deck. With only six open-fronted canvas pavilions, you will rarely encounter other guests. Evening dinners are served under a canopy of stars with lions calling across the dry riverbed.
