We are committed to offering exceptional service at an affordable price for all of our guests to experience a truly Tanzanian safari.
Our Story
A proudly Tanzanian, family-owned and managed lodge
Ruaha Hilltop Lodge was built in 2003 by Alban Lutambi, a former road-building contractor from Iringa. The Hilltop has since become one of the most sought-after lodges in Ruaha through Alban's passion for Tanzanian hospitality and vision for the country's travel industry.
Together with his two sons - Emmanuel and Donald Lutambi - Alban developed a long-term plan for the Utulivu Group to benefit future generations of travellers, the Lutambi family legacy and the local community.
