Where Flames Tell Stories

There are places you remember because of what you saw.
And then there are places like the Bush Boma at Kongoni — where memory is ignited by what you felt.

By day, Kongoni breathes serenity. Wide skies. Wandering zebras. Giraffes in slow motion. But as the sun melts into the horizon, the heartbeat of camp moves to one place — the Bush Boma.

What is a Bush Boma?

It’s not a restaurant. It’s not a firepit.
It’s an ancestral tradition — reimagined.

The Boma is an open-air, circular gathering space built from natural materials, where the flames flicker stories into the night. It’s where guests and guides, strangers and soulmates, gather to break bread, share safari tales, and lose track of time under the stars.

What Makes Kongoni’s Boma Unique?

Most camps have fires.
But this is fire with intntion.

Design That Honors Tradition
Our Boma is built in the spirit of East African storytelling circles — ringed with hand-cut timber, traditional torch lighting, and earth-toned seating that blends with the bush.

Flame-Lit Dining & Drinks
It’s not just about marshmallows. The Boma is where our chefs unveil their finest flame-cooked feasts, often paired with signature cocktails, spiced teas, or a cold beer as elephants trumpet in the distance.

Evenings that Flow Naturally
No forced entertainment. No background music. Just the crackle of fire, constellation conversations, and wild sounds reminding you that you're deep in Africa — and nowhere else matters.

Private & Communal Vibes
Whether you're a couple craving a quiet fireside dinner or a solo adventurer looking to swap stories, the Boma shifts effortlessly. It becomes what you need it to be.

More Than A Place — It’s a Feeling

At Kongoni, the Bush Boma is where guests often say they finally exhaled. It’s where the safari slows down, the senses heighten, and something ancient awakens.

Because in a world of noise and screens, a fire under the stars — surrounded by nature and connection — is still the best kind of luxury.

Book your stay at Kongoni and experience a safari that doesn’t end when the sun sets. The real magic begins at the Boma.
