Guest Reviews

We were spoiled on this camp, being the only guests. Very confortable tents, excellent food, very friendly staff, all was really nice. Wildlife coming close to our terrasse. View on the huge plain of the park.

This is a great camp in Mikumi - comfortable and spacious bandas, great views from out terrace and the restaurant area and even a pool. The staff were friendly, welcoming and flexible. Food was good and plentiful. Our guide, Fraida, was enthusiastic, fun and knowledgable. Manager, Abdul, went the extra mile to ensure our stay was successful. Mikumi exceeded our expectations, with a fantastic concentration of game (partially due to the late arrival of the rains) and super scenery. Some of our party did the Udzwunga excusions and had a highly enjoyable day out. Asante sana

The camp is placed on the Great Ruaha River and is in an idyllic spot. We saw a variety of birdlife and game all from our banda - a particular highlight being a group of banded mongooses digging for insects right outside, just after we commented that on game drives these creatures always seem to be running in the opposite direction! All the staff at the lodge were very friendly and the food was always tasty and innovative. The camp managers were always very friendly and helped us to plan our days to get the most out of our time there. Our guide Meresu and driver Letus made our game drives a great experience. Meresu's knowledge and spotting skills were incredible and led to some amazing sightings of all things great and small. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

Our family (incl 3 adult 'children') had a super stay at Ruaha River Lodge. The staff were professional and created a relaxing environment, so it felt like a 'home from home'. Our guide and driver (Enok and Onesy) were excellent. The bandas are spacious and comfortable, and we loved sitting on the terrace soaking up the passing wildlife and the bush experience. One of our party was not very mobile, following an operation, and we particularly appreciated the flexibility of manager Christiane and her team in ensuring this was not an issue. The food was good and the team even managed to provide a Christmas dinner, complete with decorations. This was one of our favourite lodges for an all-round bush experience. Asante sana.

Lazy Lagoon is the perfect place to relax after a safari. Simple bandas right on the beautiful beach, a lovely open space restaurant area and a nice pool area proved a wonderful combination for recharging batteries. Like the environment, manager Sara is warm and welcoming and made us feel immediately like one of the family The food is good and the staff anxious to please. This was the 3rd Foxes Lodge we stayed in. While each was different, the relaxing and warm welcome was consistent throughout. In addition, our transfers between locations were seamless and easy and the upfront help with planning was excellent. We are already dreaming of a follow up trip. Asante sana.

A dream came through when I visited Ruaha with a friend in December. The sheer beauty of the park is breathtaking, and the lodge is the most wonderful and welcoming place to be. As it happened, there were no other guests there at the time, so we felt as if we had the whole place for ourselves. The cabanas are lovely, spacious, and fabulously situated overlooking the riverbed, with views to die for. The river at this time had almost completely dried out, but the dry riverbed was as spectacular as anything, revealing the beautiful stony bed and allowing the animals to wander in plain sight. Mr. George, the resident hippo, payed a daily visit. The food was absolutely delicious and varied. Our guide Enok and the driver Onesy were fantastic, as well as our Masai guardians, manager James and the rest of the staff. Perfect service in every way, they even provide complimentary laundry service, a really nice touch. I only wish we could have stayed longer in this magical and remote paradise. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We stayed, after two weeks of Safari, for a full week at the Mufindi Highlands lodges during the last week of October 2022. We ended up here via Elly Siers of Chaka Africa Travel. Combined with volunteering with the Orphans in the Wild Foundation, we had an unforgettable week. Incredible what love we received from all the staff. This cannot be described in words. The food was incredibly deliciously prepared. The creativity of the chef is unparalleled. Everyone at Mufindi Highland lodges understands the art of making guests completely comfortable. We felt so at home that we actually did not miss our own home in the Netherlands. And then you do it very well in our eyes. Thanks again dear people and keep up the good work🙏🏼♥️. Chaka Africa Travel thanks for sharing this place in South Tanzania. Never to be forgotten💜.

Unique hotel in the middle of the bush, spent an unforgettable 2 days here. Such tasteful, stylishly furnished tents, wonderful. And this unique peace that you have, at night you only hear the sounds of the wilderness, pleasant temperatures for sleeping, during the day you can go into the cooling pool. Staff is very nice, food is delicious.

The tents are very comfortable and well designed, spacious with neat stone work in the bathrooms. Staff is exceptional, in the dark they escort you on the trail to your tent due to wild animals around the area. Food is great, especially the menu for breakfast. Game drives in the best type of vehicle, open sides, with a shade roof. 3 rows of seats are tiered for a good view for photography. Guildes are exceptional. I would come here again.

Very nice lodge, remarkably located by the river. You always have to move accompanied by a Masai and it's real: elephants near the bungalows day and night, lion passage at nightfall. Very nice room, ditto bathroom. Very smiling staff.
