Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Accommodation in Tanzania: Jongomero Camp

Our Rating: Deluxe

Jongomero Camp

Ruaha National Park

Jongomero Camp is located on the banks of the seasonal Jongomero River in the south western part of Ruaha National Park.

There are eight luxurious tents on raised platforms overlooking the sandy river bed. Underneath tall trees they are cool inside and have lovely shady verandas.

The interiors are stylish with polished wooden floors, carved dhow-wood beds, Maasai fabrics and polished brass taps in the en suite bathrooms. Fluffy towels are provided for both the bathroom and swimming pool.

The main boma is situated under ancient riverine trees with uninterrupted views of the Jongomero River and bush beyond. Food is superb with mangos, papayas, fresh bread and Tanzanian coffee for breakfast. There are light tasty lunches and three course dinners at night. After dinner guests either retire to the comfy armchairs in the small bar or to the campfire that is always roaring.

Activities from Jongomero focus on half and full day game drives in open 4WD's. As Jongomero is located in a far corner of the park you rarely see other vehicles.
