Ruaha River Lodge Location

Covering 13 000 square kilometres, this park is the second largest in Tanzania and offers a spectacular wilderness and wildlife experience unsurpassed elsewhere in Africa. Overlooking the Great Ruaha River in the Ruaha National Park, the lodge blends into its natural surroundings to enable visitors to feel themselves part of the wild.

This vast wilderness is rich in wildlife and contains a wide variety that includes greater and lesser kudu, roan, and sable antelope and huge herds of elephant and buffalo. Nearly 500 bird species have been sighted within the park. The exciting Great Ruaha River features large numbers of hippo and crocodile and attracts lion, leopard, hunting dog and numerous other species such as waterbuck impala, giraffe, warthog and eland. Grants gazelle, ostrich and cheetah may be seen on the plains.

Accommodation bandas, built from local stone and thatch, provide the perfect setting in which to relax between bush excursions. From the seclusion of your veranda you can watch wild animals as they descend from the hills to quench their thirst and nibble on the green grass. The dining bandas and bars, in elevated positions above the river, combine comfort and coolness with unrivalled panoramic views. The delicious food, made from the produce of our highland farm, competes with the distractions of the spectacular scenery.

Game-drives through the Park, using one of our specially adapted vehicles, will take you into unfrequented wildlife territory. Refreshing cold drinks and picnics can be enjoyed in scenic surroundings. Alternatively, short walking safaris, led by an experienced guide, give you the opportunity to "touch the wild". The views have been described as "the finest of any wildlife lodge or camp in Africa".
