Ruaha, Tanzania: 21-29 June 2024
Tanzania between 21 Jun 2024 and 29 Jun 2024
Every step of the planning and booking process was simple and fun.
Our overnight and transport through Dar es Salaam was smooth, and Ikuka and Kitchatka Zumbua are both excellent camps that complement each other very nicely.
We would be thrilled to return to each camp some day!
We highly recommend Expert Africa. Thanks again!"

Ikuka Safari Camp
"Ikuka Safari Camp review"
Great hosting from Chevy, Tommy, and Mark. Wonderful fellow guests. Food is high quality and staff is very good.
Great vehicle guiding form Luka and a nice bush walk with Mustapha.
Nice to be up on the escarpment, camps in the Mwagusi area do a pretty job of working together with minimal overcrowding at sightings. Stunning landscape and vegetation with animals that are quite relaxed around vehicles.
Excellent area to start one's visit to Ruaha and a nice complement to Kitchaka Zumbua.
The new "airstrip" near the park HQ is a strange development; hopefully, the wild nature of this core area with Ruaha remains intact."

Kichaka Zumbua
"Kichaka Zumbua review"
Serious bush walks (hours of tracking and approaching large animals) during the mornings, followed by private plunge pools, superb service/food, and an evening game drive with no other vehicles in sight.
Moya was our guide and host due to Moli and and Noelle being out of camp. He was clearly up to the task! Moya is an incredible walking guide, and he is a warm and captivating person with whom to converse.
His knowledge of everything in the bush and cool personality were such a joy to experience.
We've had the good fortune to learn from a number of very good guides, but Moya might be the best!"
