Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s largest park in the central-southern region and is famed for its rugged landscapes and exceptional predator concentrations. The park is dominated by the Great Ruaha River, which acts as a lifeline for wildlife during the dry season when animals gather along its banks. Ruaha is particularly known for large prides of lions, sizeable elephant herds, and healthy populations of leopards and cheetahs. Its ecosystem blends East African savannah with southern miombo woodland, creating high biodiversity and excellent birdwatching opportunities. Remote and wild in character, Ruaha appeals to experienced safari travelers seeking dramatic scenery and uncrowded game viewing.
