Ruaha River Lodge
Ruaha River Lodge occupies a unique and privileged position set around a series of rocky kopjes in a bend of the Great Ruaha River affording lovely views of the river.
Game is drawn to the river from the neighbouring hills and you can witness the great wildlife dramas unfold from the comfort and protection of your self-contained natural stone and thatch 'banda'. With resident hippos and crocs, there is always plenty of action to witness. The lodge consists of 24 individual stone and thatch rooms with en suite bathroom facilities. Each room is positioned along the river bank and has a large private veranda. All rooms have lounges furnished with sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, and writing desks, and are equipped with mosquito proof doors and windows - spray is provided. Power is available for lighting and recharging batteries but not for hairdryers. The camp is divided into 2 separate restaurant and bar areas; the hilltop bar and the riverside bar. Special diets can be catered for with prior notification. |

Ruaha National Park stands out due to its position in the zone between northern and southern hemispheres where species (bird migrants, mammal species, and plant species) from both overlap.
Some of the wildlife seen in this region are roan antelope, sable antelope, kudu, hartebeest, cheetah, hyena, jackal, lion, leopard and a good population of wild dog.
Although the game is most concentrated along the river during the long dry season, the park becomes a different world after the rains in December with the trees erupting into leaf and the Great Ruaha River swelling into a bursting torrent while the bird population explodes with migrants visiting from both hemispheres.
Daily game drives are taken in open, adapted 4WD vehicles.
