Set high on a rocky kopje overlooking a landscape dotted with spiky palms and bulbous baobabs, Jabali Ridge is a sophisticated base from which to explore Ruaha National Park. Jabali Ridge’s 8 suites are hidden amongst the rocky boulders that cocoon the property. With views over Ruaha from every corner of the room, the guest suites are designed to maximise the stunning landscape beyond. Be it from the bed, the desk or the bathroom, every space is a viewpoint and open to nature. An infinity pool, spa and plenty of places to laze ensure that time off is as memorable as time out in the bush.
About 200 metres from the main camp sits the private Jabali House. It is booked for families or a group of friends and comes with its own service team and private guide/vehicle.
The park is accessed via air from Arusha or Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a visit to Nyerere National Park. The flight to Nyerere National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 mins; the flight to Dar Es Salaam or Arusha, including all stops en-route, takes approx. 2.5 hrs.
The drive from Msembe Airstrip to camp takes approximately 50 minutes. Jabali Ridge is situated close to Mwagusi River in the eastern part of Ruaha National Park.
Offering spectacular views across the plains to the front of the camp, Beho Beho is built on the gentle slope of a hill. Its eight spacious and individual stonewalled, thatched bandas are each equipped with a lounge, large bed, en-suite bathroom, dressing room and large shower. The open fronts and elevated position of the bandas means the rooms are nicely ventilated. A Zanzibar daybed is available for families and children who wish to sleep in the same room.
The service at Beho Beho is personal and homely. The minimum stay here is three nights as too much change is not particularly desirable. The main house is large and airy with a snooker table to the rear and further comprises a bar, lounge and various tables. Meals are usually served outdoors at the front of the camp or just around the corner in a separate, two-storey banda with views over the waterhole. The lower floor houses a library with Internet access - WIFI access is available in all rooms.
A beautiful swimming pool is located some 80 m from the main building. The pool area is equipped with comfortable loungers for guests to simply lay back and relax in.
With its own chef, staff and private guide, the luxury two-storey Bailey’s Banda is available for families that seek a private experience.
The park comprises 75% miombo woodland, but most noticeable are the many wonderful palms, particularly the borassus and doum palms, as well as the many candelabra trees (euphorbia candelabrum).
Nyerere National Park is accessed by light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a trip to Ruaha National Park. The flight to Ruaha National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 minutes; the flight to Dar Es Salaam takes approx. 35 minutes.
Beho Beho has its own Airstrip. The drive from the airstrip to camp takes just several minutes. The camp is situated north of Lake Tagalala on the slope of Kipalala Hill.
