Rooms
Ruaha River lodge is the only ‘lodge’ in the Ruaha, consisting of 24 stone chalets. They stretch along the river bank. Each chalet has stunning views from a large veranda out the front.
The spacious interiors feature a sitting area, writing desk and either twin or double beds. At the rear of each chalet is a large bathroom decorated with found timber. There is also a shower and double basins.
Dining/Bar
The first dining area is a long banda by the side of the river. Breakfast is the perfect time to watch the game meander down for a drink. The evenings can be spent around the fire pit, looking down the river.
You may also curl up in one of the sofas with a drink and a book. The second area is imperiously-positioned atop the largest kopje in the area. This is situated on a bend and enjoys commanding views down two sections of the river. This is surely the best sundowner spot in Ruaha.
