Property Details

One of the world’s largest elephant populations and ten percent of its remaining lion numbers congregate near the Mwagusi River situated close to Jabali Ridge.  Ruaha National Park is the perfect backdrop for adventure and exploration of the abundant flora, fauna, birds and wildlife in this still untouched region of Tanzania.

Encounter some lesser known animals like wild dogs and sable antelopes on the walking safari and picnic. Day and night game drives in open-sided vehicles with canvas roofs, offer unique close encounters with the animals. Low visitor numbers ensure an uncrowded safari experience in Africa’s second largest National Park. See firsthand a conservation effort run by the Ruaha Carnivore Programme, founded to preserve Tanzania’s declining lion and cheetah populations by working with the local Maasai community.

Powered by a solar farm, Jabali Ridge in Tanzania is an eco-friendly Ruaha luxury safari lodge for the conscious traveler. The lodge is built from local wood and blends into the surrounding oasis of spiky palm trees and towering baobab trees, welcoming visitors to the lodge nestled among granite boulders.

Each private room has been designed to showcase the views over Ruaha from every corner. Timber king size beds, floors, and doors give the rooms an earthy feeling and soft colors are used throughout the lodge to ensure that the natural surroundings take center stage. Shutters in each room offer privacy and when left open, provide air circulation and stunning panoramic views. All of the ten luxury suites feature a private outdoor lounge and en suite bathroom with rain showers.

Mingle with other guests in the bar or the dining area where light lunches and three-course gourmet dinners are served under the African sky. Large trees provide shade in the afternoon heat.
