Jabali Ridge

CEDARBERG RATING

Luxury

Overview

Jabali Ridge is perched on a rocky kopje with views across the Ruaha savannah stretching to the Mwagusi River. Ruaha National Park is one of the largest national parks in Tanzania, located in the centre of the country. It forms a transitional point between the landscapes of East and Southern Africa, with its golden plains of sun-bleached grass and ancient baobab trees.

The lodge’s eight suites are hidden amongst the rocky boulders that cocoon the property. An infinity pool, spa, and plenty of places to relax ensure that time in camp is as memorable as time out in the bush. Expert guides lead walking safaris, game drives, and night drives.

After a morning game drive and lunch, spend your afternoon cooling off in the infinity pool with a drink in hand or head to the spa for a rejuvenating treatment before your afternoon activity. Dinner is served al fresco under a blanket of stars.

The greater Ruaha area is home to large prides roaming the plains. Cheetah, leopard and packs of wild dog are seen hunting here too. Visitors can also spot greater and lesser kudu, sable and roan antelope, elephants, giraffes, bat-eared foxes and some of the 570 bird species.

Jabali Ridge has been carefully designed to blend into its environment, making use of open spaces and natural materials. Even the existing granite boulders have been incorporated to provide privacy and shade. The camp feels blissfully exclusive and remote.
