Ruaha Safari Bush Camp

Tanzania

Ruaha Safari Bush Camp

Authentic, classic safari experiences in a 15,560 acre private community conservation concession bordering this remote and beautiful national game park.

The feel of Hodi Hodi is that of having your own tented home, where you can unpack, unwind and set up your base camp, then spend days enjoying an impressive variety of nearby landscapes and wildlife, and a broad selection of activities.

What our guests say

So much thought has been put into making this bush camp eco-friendly, safe, and inviting.

environmentally responsible

We are custodians
of this land

HODI HODI is a socially, culturally and environmentally responsible company, adhering to international sustainable tourism standards. Your place in the African bush, a world of calm away from the stresses of modern life, where you can feel transported back to the real wilderness, and even to the beginnings of time itself.

We are entrusted by our communities to keep their area free from poaching, tree-felling, cattle-grazing and mineral extraction.

We have leased the land for 30 years, and in return we support their schools and clinics.

Our foot-patrol teams are part village-based and part Hodi Hodi staff. These rangers and scouts are out on the land daily, keeping watch over it and reporting back to us.

They let us know when the wild dogs are going to move through, when the rivers start to dry out, if our roads need repairing, when they see sable antelope spoor, what animals are out on the plains, and if the lions are roaming nearby.

This partnership is valuable for both the communities and the HODI HODI business, knowing we’re doing our job protecting – and keeping it perfect for our guests.
