 River Lodge was the first camp to be built in Ruaha and is quite a large lodge set in amongst a large cluster of rocks right on the water's edge on the north bank of the Great Ruaha River. The immediate vicinity of the lodge is one of the better areas for game viewing in Ruaha National Parkand particularly during the dry season this area attracts large numbers of animals that are drawn to the river to drink.  Because the camp has been here so long the resident game pretty much sees the camp as home. Elephant are attracted to the same large riverine trees that make such good shade for the tents, so sitting in your room is often one of the best places to be for close up views of them. At night there's also likely to be a fair amount around, so you need to be careful going to and from your tent that you don't meet one of the local buffalos.  The camp has a laid back relaxed feeling with friendly staff, many of whom have been there since the lodge was first opened in the late eighties. River Lodge isn't luxury and doesn't pretend to be (if that's what you're after you would do better to look at Jongomero Camp), rooms are fairly basic, but far from uncomfortable and the dining areas and bars are located to make the most of the riverside setting. If you like the idea of a place that isn't outrageously expensive, but offers straight forward good quality accommodation and an insight into Ruaha, born of many years of experience, then this is a good choice.
