Ruaha River Lodge
Ruaha National Park
Open All Year
Creating seats on the edge of the action Ruaha River Lodge is perfectly located on the banks of the Great Ruaha River. The camp is divided into two distinct locations – the dining banda on the banks of the river and the other high up on a nearby hill.
The dining banda on the rivers banks is the perfect place for your breakfast as wildlife come down to the river for a morning drink. Evenings are always spent at the fire pit that looks down the river or relax on one of the couches with a good book between strenuous safari activities. The other location on top of the nearby kopje commands incredible views of the surrounding countryside and is the best place for your sundowner drinks.
Morning and afternoon game drives as well as full day game drives with a packed lunch can be done at Ruaha River Lodge. Walking safaris can be done with pre-booking.
