About Ruaha River Lodge
Ruaha River Lodge was the only safari camp in the national park for two decades, before Tanzania opened to international tourism. As a pioneer of its time this allowed for its prime position along the river and far from any other safari lodges. The lodge’s remoteness is its defining feature and greatest selling point, leaving guests feeling that they have Ruaha National Park seemingly all to themselves.
Journey to Ruaha River Lodge, on the banks of the mighty Ruaha River, to discover why Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s best-kept secret – as you immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes dotted with baobabs, venture in search of untamed wilderness, and witness a vast array of African wildlife species in this global biodiversity hotspot.

Classic Stone Thatch Banda
Nestled amidst the riverine acacia forest, Ruaha River Lodge is at the heart of the action, with 24 spacious, en-suite stone bandas boasting uninterrupted views of the water. Each elegant banda extends onto a large, private wooden deck that descends to a secluded seating area along the riverbank – a playground for the park’s abundant birdlife. Bi-fold wooden-gauze doors invite the sights and sounds of Ruaha's pristine wilderness to become a part of your tranquil safari retreat in Southern Tanzania.
