Ruaha River Lodge, situated in the remote Ruaha National Park, occupies a unique and privileged position set around a series of rocky kopjes in a bend of the great Ruaha River, blending seamlessly into its surroundings and affording views up and down the river. Game is drawn to the river from the neighboring hills and with resident hippos and crocs there is always plenty of action to watch.

Covering nearly 13,000 sq km, the Ruaha National Park is renowned for its undisturbed wildlife and stunning, rugged scenery.

Game driving is the predominant activity in the Ruaha National Park. The Park has a vast network of all weather roads, so large tracts of the park are accessible to visitors. Not only does this increase the chance of seeing more animals, it also disperses the vehicles more evenly around the park so that you will not meet many other vehicles.

Your highly trained guide will lead you to an abundance of sightings, including leopard, lion, cheetah and hunting dog, not to mention several rare species including greater and lesser kudu, roan and sable antelopes.

The 20 riverside en-suite 'bandas' are designed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. The local stone and thatch rooms have minimal impact on the environment and game viewing from your veranda is a relaxing and enthralling option.

The lodge has 2 separate dining and bar areas servicing 10 rooms each, thus maintaining a personalized small camp atmosphere in each.

Drinks around a campfire on the river bank or high up in the elevated bar with its spectacular views up and down the river is the perfect way to end the day.

Sunshine Marine really is a perfect get away for those who would like to relax, be active and explore away from the crowds.

Located on the north-east coast of Zanzibar and situated on a beautiful cliff, away from other hotels, guest can enjoy total peace as well as spectacular views of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and Mnemba Atoll.

About 700m from the lodge there is Muyuni Beach - one of the last undeveloped and unspoiled beaches of Zanzibar. This beach can be reached on foot (during low tide), by bike, boat (high tide) or car - the lodge provides free transfers to the beach all day long. The transfer takes around 10 minutes by boat or car.

Diving here offers you a stunning underwater world with schools of tropical reef fish, turtles, dolphins, and beautiful hard and soft coral formations. Dive Point Zanzibar is a small and friendly PADI dive center situated at Sunshine Marine Lodge, who offer daily diving and snorkelling trips to Mnemba and north-east coast reefs. Dive trips include beginner dives for those wishing to discover scuba diving as well as a wide range of PADI diving courses.

The main lodge has a swimming pool and nicely arranged areas with sun beds or hammocks, ideal for sunbathing or reading a book in a shade of an umbrella. The restaurant and bar serve a wide variety of delicious fresh food and drinks.
