Ruaha National Park Adventure

Safari summary

This 3-day safari offers an exceptional opportunity to explore one of Tanzania’s most spectacular and lesser-visited national parks, Ruaha. Situated in the heart of Tanzania, Ruaha covers over 20,000 square kilometers of rugged wilderness, rolling hills, savannah plains, and seasonal rivers. Its remote location ensures an authentic African safari experience, far from the crowds.
Ruaha is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and buffalo. The park is also famous for its population of African wild dogs, rare to see elsewhere. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting over 570 species, from raptors and storks to kingfishers. The park’s mix of miombo woodlands, riverine forests, and open plains creates a rich ecosystem supporting diverse wildlife.
This safari is perfect for travelers seeking adventure, tranquility, and close encounters with nature. You will travel in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle with an experienced English-speaking driver-guide. Early morning and late afternoon game drives offer the best chance to see predators, elephants bathing in the Great Ruaha River, and other iconic wildlife. Evenings are spent at handpicked lodges or tented camps inside the park, where you can relax under the African night sky.
Ruaha’s seclusion allows a true sense of wilderness. Unlike the more visited northern parks, you can enjoy wildlife at your own pace, with uninterrupted views of herds grazing or predators on the prowl. From golden sunsets to peaceful mornings filled with birdsong, every moment in Ruaha is unforgettable. This immersive safari captures the essence of Tanzania’s untamed beauty, offering unforgettable experiences for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
