About Kichaka Zumbua

Kichaka Zumbua pairs a remote Ruaha setting with the comfort of a permanent camp. Days on foot lead back to a ridge above the Great Ruaha River, with broad views and a relaxed evening around the fire.

This is Kichaka Expeditions’ main base in eastern Ruaha. Its rocky setting and tented accommodation make it a good choice when you want walking at the centre of a safari, with somewhere comfortable to return to.
