Ruaha National Park: Safaris
Tanzania safari holidays in Ruaha National Park
Spreading over more than 20,000km², Ruaha is Tanzania’s largest national park. As there’s only a handful of camps scattered over it, this area can add a real feeling of wilderness to your safari holidays in Tanzania.
There are gently rolling hills, wide open plains, baobab copses and, most distinctively, the Great Ruaha River where wildlife gathers especially during the dry season. Due to the park’s floral variety you can expect extraordinary birdlife and prolific game. Come for great 4WD safaris, walks and fly-camping!
