Fossil RIm Lodge
Rooms with a View

Choose from a variety of accommodations for your overnight stay. The lodge provides rustic luxury while Safari Camp offers an unforgettable getaway in the comfort of a safari-style tent. Both options are set in a secluded area of Fossil Rim's ~1700 acre wildlife preserve - you will fall asleep to the sound of howling wolves and awaken with the songbirds.

 

The Foothills Safari Camp


The Foothills Safari CampEach Tent Cabin is custom designed and fitted with two twin beds, fresh linens, a private bath, ceiling fans, and central heat and air. Please bring a flashlight! You can relax on your own small patio, stroll over to the guest pavillion, gather at the bar or trade the day’s stories while observing the animals as they come to the nearby watering hole. Safari Camp overlooks one of Fossil Rim’s most popular wildlife watering holes where an ever changing variety of animals, from elegant sandhill cranes to families of waterbuck, can be viewed.

 

The Lodge


The LodgeThe lodge was the original “ranch house” for the property and, with a few modifications, now serves as a Bed and Breakfast. A cathedral style living room with a massive stone fireplace and walls of glass opens onto a stone veranda overlooking a popular wildlife feeding area. Herds of Arabian oryx and desert addax can often be seen making their daily migration from pasture to pasture and you’ll get an up close look at the resident deer and wild turkey.
