Location
On the banks of the Jongomero seasonal river, Jongomero Camp is nestled in an exquisite setting with perfect views. Enjoying the shade of the surrounding trees, the camp is charmingly remote with a 40-kilometre distance to the closest camp.
Accommodation
The Jongomero camp blends into its superb surroundings beautifully. The camp has ten exquisite suited tents, each with an enormous reclaimed-dhow wooden bed, en-suite bathroom and a veranda at the front with views across the river.
As you sit outside your tent you can expect to see animals and birdlife and beyond the river the plains and forests stretch interminably towards the distant hills.
The main lodge has open wooded terraces and a thatched roof. There is a camp bar offering an ice cold drink and warm conversation, a comfortable lounge and a wonderful dining area where delicious meals are served. All with fabulous views of the river.
