Perched on top of the Mwagusi escarpment, in Ruaha, with absolutely spectacular views across the Ruaha valley, Ikuka offers a luxury wilderness experience like few others in Ruaha. The exclusive owner run property provides an opportunity to enjoy some of Africa’s most incredible landscapes and wildlife rich areas in the knowledge that their stay is also supporting the local communities and projects. The central communal area is comprised of a well-stocked bar, a comfortable lounge area, an airy dining space, a swimming pool with a lounging deck and an upstairs chill-out library area.

The rooms really are something else, in such a remote place, each of the six en-suite tented rooms have 24-hour electricity and hot water as well as super-king-sized beds, a spacious bathroom and lounge with comfortable seating and a large, private balcony that also has superb views. Considering the standard of accommodation this is a very reasonably priced option for Ruaha, we are bowled over by the views and wildlife is superb.
