Asanja Ruaha Camp โ Great Ruaha River Luxury With Elephants at Sunset
Asanja Ruaha Camp (also known as Asanja Ndembo) is a luxury tented camp on the banks of the Great Ruaha River in Ruaha National Park. TripAdvisor reviews describe it in consistent superlatives: "We are so happy we chose Ruaha for safari, and even more so for staying at Asanja Ndembo. We couldn't have wished for a better base than Asanja โ it has an exceptional high standard and a crew that delivers all." A second reviewer: "Spent 4 lovely nights in this beautiful place. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, food is excellent, staff are caring and professional. Enjoyed the elephants drinking from the pond 50 metres away while watching the sunset."
The riverside setting is the camp's defining feature โ the Great Ruaha River's permanent water draws daily elephant herds, hippos and crocodiles to the banks, visible from the camp and from tents. Fine dining, walking safaris and game drives complete the offering.
Accommodation
Spacious luxury tents on the Great Ruaha River bank. Fine dining. Walking safaris, game drives. Elephants at the river 50m from camp. Full board.
