Ruaha National Park stands as a hidden gem within Tanzania’s wilderness, a sanctuary of raw beauty and untamed wildlife.
Ruaha National Park, located in southern Tanzania, is one of the country’s largest and most captivating wildlife reserves. Spanning over 20,000 square kilometers, the park offers an authentic African safari experience, characterized by its untouched wilderness, diverse landscapes, and abundant wildlife.It is named after the Hehe word for ‘river’. The Great Ruaha River runs through this conservation area.
The second-largest national park in Tanzania, Ruaha is a vast expanse of wilderness and home to many wildlife species. Due to its low visitor numbers, a safari here feels secluded and exclusive. During the dry season, the savannahs are golden and dotted with baobab trees, while misty hills stretch across the horizon. The annual rains bring lush green grasslands and nudge the ancient baobabs to bloom. Ruaha also provides a unique crossover habitat, housing wildlife species from both southern and east Africa, creating a unique game viewing destination.
