Ruaha: Where Wilderness Meets Wildlife Wonders
Ruaha: A Wild Landscape with Superb Wildlife
Unparalleled Predator Concentrations: Lions, Cheetahs, and Wild Dogs
Located at the heart of Tanzania, Ruaha is the 'other park' on the Southern circuit. Ruaha's relative inaccessibility means it receives far fewer tourists than Selous and fewer than any comparable park in the Northern circuit. The rewards of traveling this far are a wild landscape with baobab-studded hills and rocky escarpments, along with superb wildlife. Ruaha safaris reliably offer exciting predator concentrations, as it is home to 10% of the world's lion population, contains one of four cheetah populations in East Africa, and has the third-largest wild dog population in the world. This is accompanied by huge elephant and buffalo herds and a crossover of game from southern and Eastern Africa.
When to go
Ruaha National Park epitomizes the untamed beauty of Africa, with its rugged landscape and abundant wildlife. Spread across vast plains, punctuated by baobab-studded hills and rocky escarpments, Ruaha's scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. Here, amidst the wilderness, visitors encounter a diverse array of wildlife, from majestic lions to elusive cheetahs and the rare African wild dogs. The park's remote location means fewer tourists, allowing for a more intimate safari experience. Whether exploring the park's winding riverbanks or traversing its open savannahs, Ruaha offers a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered essence of the African bush, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.
