Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s largest national park at over 20,000 square kilometers, offers an untouched wilderness experience rich in wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Located in southern Tanzania between Iringa and Dodoma, the park is named after the Great Ruaha River, which sustains its diverse ecosystem. Ruaha is renowned for its high density of predators, particularly lions, as well as large herds of elephants, buffalo, and numerous antelope species. It is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 570 recorded bird species. Visitors can explore its rugged terrain through game drives, guided walking safaris, and river excursions. Accessible by road from Iringa or via charter flights to its airstrips, Ruaha National Park is a must-visit for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path safari adventure in Tanzania.
