What to do
Activities
Kichaka specializes in walking safaris (for guests aged 16 and above), led by experienced guides who lead you on a quest to spot rare antelope and even accompany a herd of elephants on foot. Boasting the highest concentration of elephants in Tanzania, Ruaha is also home to substantial prides of lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and African painted dogs, observable during both day and night drives. In the rainy season, Ruaha transforms into a birding haven as migrating flocks converge along the river.
Planning your stay
How Kichaka Expeditions fits your journey.
Start with the type of safari you want, then choose the appropriate Kichaka camp and duration. Walking-focused days need a different pace from a conventional drive-only itinerary, and the exact arrangements must fit your group.

Things to consider

Useful to know
Kichaka Expeditions FAQs.
Is Kichaka mainly a walking safari?
Walking and guiding are central to its appeal. The balance of walks, drives and other arrangements should be agreed for the specific camp and itinerary you book.
Do we need a particular level of fitness?
Tell us your usual activity level and any medical or mobility limitations. The guide determines what is appropriate, and we confirm the expected walks before booking.
Are all Kichaka camps the same?
No. Accommodation and operating arrangements vary by camp. We identify the actual camp in your proposal rather than using a general description as a room guarantee.
Can we add Nyerere afterwards?
Yes, subject to flight services and the length of your trip. Allow a realistic travel day and enough time in both parks rather than compressing the walking stay.
