Great staff and location, The guides were brilliant Jacob and David, really made the trip outstanding. The lodges are all set along the river and you can see the hippos. The food was good but the service and guiding is what sets this place apart. more

We spent four nights at Ruaha River Lodge in June of 2009. We’ve traveled extensively and have been to every continent except Antarctica and this was probably the greatest view from a front porch that we have ever had. The Ruaha River runs right by the front of the bandas and you are treated to a spectacle of hippos, crocodiles,... more

We stayed only 3 nights at Ruaha River Lodge, the main goal of our stay was to see the sable and roan antelopes - unfortunately we didn't succeed, during the game drives we couldn't cross the river because of the mud - but anyway, Ruaha is a beautiful park and the lodge is great - as for location, staff, everything.... more

Ruaha river lodge is an excellent safari location. We stayed there for 5 nights prior to moving to Selous Safari Camp. In many ways the descriptions on the website etc. do not do it justice. Whilst it is a large camp, it is in effect 2 separate camps i.e. those who fly in like we did stay in the lower... more

We stayed in several of the Foxes safari lodges on an Explore Holiday and liked this one the best . You can sit on your veranda and watch the wildlife come down to the water . You lie awake at night and listen to the hippos coming out of the water to feed - we heard them very close by... more

My family and I spent a fabulous three nights and four days at Ruaha River Lodge (21-24 July 08). The whole experience was wonderfully awe-inspiring; from the flight into Ruaha on a light bush plane to the game and scenery, to the lodge itself. It is hard to describe in words and yet at the same time do justice to... more

This lodge is perfectly located in the park and on the Ruaha river. It is not over the top luxury but very comfortable. The banda's are very big and the food and service were outstanding. You don't have to go on game drives. You can view the animals from your private deck or from the restaurant way up on the... more

you cannot get better than this. The views were oustanding. The safari drives were amazing and very informative. The food was excellent, and the people were friendly. A high class safari experience. One gripe would be the prices of drinks, which was a little on the heavy side! more

Wow! What can I say?! We stayed in Ruaha for 5 days out of our 3 week Tanzanian holiday, all organised for us by Fox Treks. From the moment we arrived at Dar Es Salaam we experienced the most exceptional service. The River Lodge at Ruaha is an amazing place, from the moment we landed at the airstrip we were... more

My wife and I returned for a three nite stay at Ruaha River Lodge in early June, 2007. Considerable remodeling occurred since our 2005 visit. Our banda was very spacious with more than enough room for us. Sleeping room had power strip for charging batteries when generator power was on and a safe with electronic code for storing valuable. Entrance... more
