Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and one of the most wild, remote, and untouched safari destinations in East Africa. Spanning over 20,000 square kilometers of rugged terrain, it sits at the crossroads of eastern and southern African ecosystems, resulting in an extraordinary overlap of plant and animal species found nowhere else in the country. The Great Ruaha River, the park's lifeline, attracts huge concentrations of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and predators during the dry season. Ruaha boasts one of the largest elephant populations in East Africa and is home to Tanzania's biggest lion prides. It is also one of the few places where both greater and lesser kudu coexist. Despite its exceptional wildlife, Ruaha receives a fraction of the visitors that flock to the northern circuit, offering a truly exclusive safari experience.
