Ubuyu - a Banyan Tree Escape - is now open in Ruaha
The much heralded Ubuyu, a Banyan Tree Escape, is now open in Ruaha. It is an exclusive ultra-luxury safari retreat consisting of six villas located along the Great Ruaha River and promises "Private, nature-led experiences that restore curiosity and calm."
This is Ubuyu, a Banyan Tree Escape. The Swahili word for the fruit of the baobab, Africa’s tree of life, a symbol of resilience and a source of vitality. Two towering baobab trees stand guard at the entrance of our immersive safari retreat, a gateway to the vast, untamed Tanzanian wilderness.
The rugged beauty of Ruaha National Park is all around Ubuyu – a living, breathing ecosystem of jungle, plains, savannah and mountains. Artisan-crafted and elemental, the design is inspired by Maasai vernacular architecture and the flowing curves of the river. Organic shapes, natural materials, and bespoke furniture hand-carved by local artisans feel both authentic and contemporary, while private infinity pools and viewing decks draw you deeper into the rhythm of the wild.
