Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park, Tanzania's largest national park, is a stunning wilderness area known for its diverse ecosystems and rich wildlife. Spanning over 20,000 square kilometres, Ruaha features a mix of savannah, woodlands, and riverine habitats, making it a haven for various species. The park is home to large populations of elephants, prides of lions, and an impressive array of birds, including over 570 species. Its remote location offers a more secluded safari experience, perfect for wildlife enthusiasts.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. This period offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, as animals congregate around the park's rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot. The weather is generally warm and dry, providing ideal conditions for game drives and exploration of the stunning landscapes.

Ruaha is a hidden gem where nature reveals its raw beauty and wildlife flourishes in every corner.

While the dry season is popular, the wet season from November to May transforms the park into a lush paradise. This is a fantastic time for birdwatchers, as migratory birds arrive, adding to the park’s impressive avian diversity. However, wildlife may be more dispersed during this time. Each season offers unique experiences, so plan your visit according to your interests to fully enjoy the wonders of Ruaha National Park.

How to Get There

Ruaha National Park is accessible from Iringa, which is about 130 kilometres away. Visitors can reach the park by taking a guided tour, which includes transportation and experienced guides. Self-driving is also an option, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful landscapes along the way. The roads to the park are generally well-maintained, ensuring a smooth journey to this extraordinary wildlife destination.
