Ruaha National Park: Ikuka Safari Camp


Sunrise over the park. Uh, YES
One of my absolute favorite lodges in the park, Ikuka Safari Camp has undoubtedly the best views of any of the lodges in the park. Located on a hillside on the way up the escarpment in the north of the tourist circuit the lodge offers stunning views, excellent service, and tasteful design. It offers a kind of luxury that isn't over the top and fits with the natural environment. All the rooms are beautifully designed and open yet also have screens that can be rolled down at night for insects. The communal area has a pool (amazing in the dry season!) and sufficient space for people to hang out. They recently constructed a family room and I believe they have a honeymooner suite with a private plunge pool.

If someone wants a bush camp experience, I recommend Kigelia Camp but if someone wants a more luxurious experience I recommend Ikuka!
Thinking about taking a dip. We actually forgot our swimming suits.
View from the bed.
Each room has a private seating area. Chairs can also be taken out on the deck.
Literally the view from the toilet located at the communal lounge. Love this view.
