Sunset cruise

Situated right on the banks of the Great Ruaha River, our location offers unrivaled views in Ruaha National Park.

Nestled along one of the most breathtaking stretches of the Great Ruaha River, you can observe wildlife from your veranda throughout the day in complete comfort. Few other camps can claim such an idyllic setting. Ruaha is divided between two sites, one featuring a dining area by the river, and the other perched high on a nearby kopje, providing a wholly unique perspective.

Crafted from local stone and thatch, the lodge is integrated with the natural kopjes and takes full advantage of its exceptional position along a bend in the river.
