Accommodation
Ruaha River lodge is the only ‘lodge’ in the Ruaha, consisting of 24 stone chalets stretching along the river bank.
Each chalet has stunning views from a large veranda out the front, while the huge 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, a shower and double basins.
Season
Ruaha can be visited at any time of year, however the best time for game viewing is during the dry season from June to December when wildlife converges on the dwindling water reserves notably the river in front of the Lodge.

So tough to choose which Foxes Lodge to pick! Overall the view and team at Ruaha was the best. Stunning views all day, especially at sunset. Comfortable stay, delicious food and attentive crew.

Quite simply the best location I have ever been to (high-up overlooking the mighty Ruaha River). The views from camp are extraordinary and the plethora of wildlife at all times is awe-inspiring.

What makes Ruaha stand out is how good the wildlife viewing is both on game drives as well as at the camp. The location means you that you have animals always close by and its completely immersive.
