High End safari experience. The staff was wonderful, especially our guide Festo.
The food was excellent and plentiful. The bed was lovely and comfortable. I do like a bathroom with two sinks ! One of my favorite things was the mid morning breakfast served by the Guide out of the supplies in the vehicle in some wonderful isolated location surrounded by nature and animals.
Thank you very much for your review and for sharing your experience on here with others, we appreciate it! So true, you cannot beat a breakfast out in the bush surrounded by nature and animals! Best wishes from the Ikuka Family.
Staying at the Ikuka Safari Camp is like being in an Ernest Hemingway novel set in Africa. Only you are hunting the lions and elephants with a camera not guns. You wake up early and hear the baboons going wild by the river and Festo, your guide, says only a leopard makes them hysterical that way. So you jump in the safari vehicle to go see! The day ends with a beautiful tradition of a sundowner, your choice of drink as you admire the sunset and zebras. As for the Ikuka camp, it has it all—comfortable beds, excellent food, warm showers, and, most importantly, knowledgeable guides and staff. The glam tents felt like home. I almost want to keep this a secret for my future trips here, but I’m feel compelled to share this jewel in the middle of Tanzania far from the other tourists.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience on here with others, we truly appreciate it! We are so pleased you enjoyed your experience in Ruaha and staying with us - it is really fun when you can observe your guide interpreting the bush like that and finding you a Leopard. We look forward to staying in touch. Best wishes from the Ikuka Family.
This was my first Safari & I was apprehensive, however, from the moment we landed, driven to Ikuka it was the most amazing & magical experience. The staff are like your family, absolutely nothing it too much trouble. Our guide Festo I will remember forever, he made it so special for us, his knowledge was mind blowing and his bush breakfasts & sundown drinks!😋. The accommodation what can I say - just wow! All the little touches as well ❤️

Ikuka was truly one of the most magical places we've ever stayed! The decor was perfection down to every last detail, the food was delicious (and plentiful!), and the guides were unbelievably knowledgeable. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The animal sightings were incredible, and the lack of huge crowds in Ruaha was a huge plus. Also highly recommend the walking tour with Mark! Thanks to the whole Ikuka team for such a great trip - we'll be back!
Thank you very much for this review and for sharing your experience on here with others, we truly appreciate it! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us including the yummy food and all the activities and meeting the team! We look forward to staying in touch. Best wishes from the Ikuka family.
An amazing place. Nestled high up on a ridge overlooking the escarpment the views are stunning. The accommodation, food and service are impeccable hosted by the owner Mark and Chevvy. Festo the besto was our guide who would venture anywhere to see the animals which were in abundance everywhere, Lions, leopards, elephant, giraffe etc etc. We enjoyed some fabulous up close and personal experiences. Breakfasting out in the bush, sundowners watching a lion wake up plus many more great memories. Would highly recommend the location and team
