Camp Details
Journey to Ruaha River Lodge, on the banks of the mighty Ruaha River, to discover why Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s best-kept secret – as you immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes dotted with baobabs, venture in search of untamed wilderness, and witness a vast array of African wildlife species in this global biodiversity hotspot.
Ruaha River Lodge was the only safari camp in the national park for two decades, before Tanzania opened to international tourism. As a pioneer of its time this allowed for its prime position along the river and far from any other safari lodges. The lodge’s remoteness is its defining feature and greatest selling point, leaving guests feeling that they have Ruaha National Park seemingly all to themselves.
WHY CHOOSE RUAHA RIVER LODGE?
- Set on one of the most stunning stretches of the Great Ruaha River, you can see game throughout the day from the comfort of your veranda.
- Fly camping in Ruaha is a great way to immerse yourself in the bush.
- Private dinners on the veranda, bush breakfasts, or a sundowner on the banks of the river are all little ways to make your safari a memorable one.
- Ruaha River lodge is the only ‘lodge’ in the Ruaha, consisting of 24 stone chalets stretching along the river bank.
