Asanja Ruaha Camp

Located directly on the banks of the mighty Great Ruaha River, nestled within the characteristic Miombo woodland and surrounded by the ancient, majestic Baobab trees for which Ruaha National Park is so famous, lies Asanja Ruaha Camp. If you're looking for a place that is truly "far from the madding crowd," then you've come to the right place. This is not an overrun tourist trap, my friend, but a piece of genuine, untouched African paradise. An experience that goes deeper and is more fulfilling than you might know from more famous parks.

What Awaits You at Asanja Ruaha Camp

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the bush, the sun peeking through the trees, and perhaps an elephant herd leisurely strolling along the riverbank. Asanja Ruaha is an intimate camp designed to provide you with an exclusive and profound nature experience. I've spent nights in similar camps in Ruaha myself – the silence, broken only by the calls of wild animals, and the incredible starry sky above you, that's pure magic. Here, you can feel the soul of Africa.

Your Accommodation

• Type: Luxurious, spacious tented suites perched on elevated platforms, offering fantastic views. Each tent is furnished with a keen sense of style and comfort, without losing its authentic safari character.
• Facilities: You'll enjoy the luxury of an en-suite bathroom with running hot and cold water, comfortable beds with high-quality linens and mosquito nets, a private veranda with seating, and solar power for light and charging your devices. It's this touch of luxury amidst the wilderness that makes the difference.
• Highlight: The location directly on the Great Ruaha River is unbeatable. From your veranda, you can often watch animals coming to drink at the river. And the Baobabs! These giants of the savannah shape the landscape and give it an almost mystical atmosphere. A sundowner overlooking the river and these trees – unforgettable.

Food & Drinks

Hospitality is paramount at Asanja Ruaha. The camp offers excellent meals, often prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Whether it's a hearty breakfast before a game drive, a light lunch in the shade, or a romantic dinner under the African starry sky – often by the campfire or at a particularly beautiful spot in the bush – dining here is an experience. The drink selection is also good, perfect for winding down the day and reflecting on your experiences. Sometimes, when conditions are right, they even organize breakfast right on the riverbank. That's a moment you won't forget easily.

Location of Asanja Ruaha Camp

The camp is located in the heart of Ruaha National Park in Tanzania, one of the largest and wildest protected areas in the country. It is strategically situated on the Great Ruaha River, the lifeblood of the park. The approximate coordinates are -7.670000 latitude and 34.900000 longitude.

From the airstrip, it's often just a short but exciting drive to the camp.
