About Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania, spanning over 20,000 square kilometers. It is located in the central part of the country, far from the bustling crowds of more famous parks, providing an intimate and immersive safari experience. Ruaha is known for its rugged terrain, dominated by the Great Ruaha River, vast savannahs, rolling hills, and dense miombo woodlands. The park’s diverse habitats support an extraordinary range of wildlife, making it a prime destination for safari enthusiasts.

Why Visit Ruaha National Park?

  • Rich Wildlife Diversity: Ruaha is home to one of the largest populations of elephants in East Africa. The park also hosts a significant number of lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rare African wild dogs. Other species include giraffes, zebras, buffalos, and antelopes. Bird watchers will find over 570 bird species, including raptors, vultures, and seasonal migratory birds.

  • Off-the-Beaten-Path Experience: Unlike some of the more famous national parks in Tanzania, Ruaha is less frequented by tourists, offering a more exclusive and private experience. It’s a hidden gem where you can enjoy a peaceful safari away from the crowds.

  • Spectacular Landscapes: Ruaha’s scenery is breathtaking and diverse. From the wide-open plains to the baobab-filled valleys and the dramatic escarpments, the park offers picture-perfect views at every turn. The Great Ruaha River, lined with towering palm trees and rocky outcrops, is the lifeline of the park, drawing animals in for refreshing drinks, especially during the dry season.

  • Predator Hotspot: Ruaha is a predator haven. It boasts the highest concentration of lions in East Africa, with prides often numbering up to 20 individuals. The park’s abundant prey base also makes it ideal for spotting leopards and cheetahs on the hunt.

When to Visit

The best time to visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. This is when wildlife congregates around the rivers and waterholes, making it easier to spot animals. The wet season (November to May) brings lush green landscapes and is ideal for birdwatching, as migratory birds arrive during this time.
