Overview of Ruaha River Lodge

Situated on the banks of the Great Ruaha River – the lifeline of the Ruaha National Park – this remote lodge creates an authentic Tanzanian experience. Ideal for those who prefer a more personal safari adventure, Ruaha River Lodge is rustic, yet comfortable and offers incredible views over the vast surrounding wilderness.

The surrounding landscape ranges from mountains and escarpments to grasslands, kopjes and riverine areas, creating a wonderful location for morning and afternoon game drives, accompanied by your knowledgeable hosts. A walking safari will prove a more intimate way to get to know the area. Game viewing can even be enjoyed from the comfort of your suite. Ruaha River Lodge also offers fly-camping excursions which allow you to spend two nights camping in the wilderness.
