Located in the remote heart of southern Tanzania, Ruaha National Park is the country’s largest national park and a truly untamed wilderness. Far from the crowds of the north, Ruaha offers authentic safari experiences with dramatic landscapes, thriving predator populations, and some of the highest elephant densities in East Africa.
Ruaha’s landscape is dominated by dramatic escarpments, the Great Ruaha River, open plains, and baobab-studded hills. This vast terrain hosts both eastern and southern African species in one ecosystem — a unique biodiversity overlap rarely found elsewhere.
Ruaha is home to an extraordinary range of wildlife including large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, African wild dogs, and over 10,000 elephants. Birders will also enjoy over 570 recorded species.
Safari in Ruaha feels like stepping back in time. With limited lodges and vast open areas, you’ll enjoy a private, immersive bush experience with knowledgeable guides and flexible game drives.
Ruaha is best suited for travelers seeking a wild, intimate safari. Ideal for seasoned safari-goers, photographers, birders, and couples looking to escape the crowds.
Choose from exclusive tented camps to stylish eco-lodges deep in the bush. These properties focus on sustainability and close-to-nature experiences.
