Jabali ridge, tanzania

The soulful safari company Asilia is continuing its move in a luxury direction with the opening of Jabali Ridge in September, the first proper safari lodge in Ruaha National Park—tanzania’s biggest, most wildlife-rich park that you’ve probably never heard of. (Expect to encounter very few other Land Cruisers, as hardly anyone visits.) Along with sublime creature comforts—ten large, stylish rooms with beautiful weathered-timber furnishings, an infinity pool and a spa—the lodge promises to maintain Asilia’s tradition of authenticity with top-flight guides and meaningful interactions with local communities.
