Ruaha National Park

Safari Highlights:

Fly into Ruaha, Tanzania’s biggest park and start game viewing as soon as your plane touches down. Spot your first giraffe as it paces beside the airstrip; observe the line of zebra which crosses the runway; look a little further, just past that bulging baobab tree, at a group of female elephants, gathered protectively around their young.

See how many of Ruaha’s diverse antelope species you can name, starting with the park emblem - a greater kudu male, crowned with large, corkscrew horns.

Keep an eye out for a lion pride on the acacia savannah, a stalking cheetah on the open grassland and a lurking leopard in the tangled riverine thickets of miombo woodland.

Follow the course of the Great Ruaha River with its large population of hippo and crocodile and watch out for both striped and spotted hyena which, together with packs of African wild dog (the painted wolves), come regularly to drink at the river.

Encounter unique wildlife in Ruaha National Park, where game drives and walking safaris are best undertaken in the dry season (June-December) whilst for birdwatchers and those who appreciate lush scenery and wildflowers, the wet season is excellent (January to May). 450 bird species have been recorded in this park.

Relax in the riverside lodge or a seasonal tented camp. Self-catering bandas and two campsites are also available.
