Offering the best of both worlds, the Ruaha Hilltop Lodge perches on top of the Ideremle Mountain, making it the perfect viewpoint for looking out over the savannah as it stretches into the distance.
Of course, those plains are full of wildlife, so look out for passing elephants, giraffes, or playful baboons. Sunset and sunrise are two wonderful events – every day, of course! So relax in this peaceful haven and enjoy the best of Tanzania.
