"You just feel that you really are in Africa, in the middle of the bush. It's wild, it's remote, because you're on your own - that's a very special feeling" - Jane Fox of Fox Safari Camps.

Ruaha National Park offers an extraordinary safari experience away from the crowds.

"In a blink, she was at the side of the game vehicle. I was in the row behind the driver and I just kept clicking away with my camera.

"I appreciate this lucky opportunity to capture a unique photo. Thank you Fox family."

Ruaha River Lodge guest, Gerry Breckon, was treated to a spectacular sighting of a leopard with its kill in a tree.

"When we first arrived at the sighting, there was another Jeep there, which eventually left. The leopard was at the base of a tree that held an impala carcass."

As the day unfolds, keep your gaze on the riverbanks—nature’s stage—where wildlife appears as if drawn to the gentle rhythm of the water.

When the sun begins to dip, you’ll set off on another thrilling game drive through Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s second largest park.

A day in the bush is not complete without an evening bonfire.

With a cold beer and a starry sky, our ringside boma area beside the Great Ruaha River is the perfect place to chat about the day's events, or to sit quietly and reflect on your Tanzanian adventure.

Over the past four decades, the Fox family have established seven camps and lodges across Southern and Western Tanzania.

Five camps and lodges are within remote corners of Tanzania’s most renowned national parks: Nyerere (formerly Selous Game Reserve), Ruaha, Katavi and Mikumi.

We love a big cat sighting like a leopard in a tree, but catching a waterbuck fight along the riverbank is just as exciting.

Competition between waterbuck bulls can be fierce as they battle for prime territory close to water sources.
