Experience Wild Tanzania in Ruaha National Park

Welcome to Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s best-kept safari secret. As the largest national park in the country, Ruaha is a remote and rugged wilderness, known for its raw beauty, predator-rich plains, and authentic, uncrowded safaris. If you're seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure with exceptional wildlife encounters, Ruaha is the place to be.

Why Visit Ruaha National Park?

✔ Big Cats and Big Herds

Ruaha is one of the best places in Africa to spot predators, especially:

Lions – Ruaha has one of the largest lion populations in the world.
Leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas – Often seen stalking the open savannas.
African wild dogs – Rare and endangered, but Ruaha is one of their strongholds.

You'll also find large herds of:
Elephants – Often seen near rivers and baobab groves.
Buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, roan and sable antelopes – all thriving in the park’s varied terrain.

✔ True Wilderness
Ruaha is remote and wild — far from the busy safari circuits. With fewer tourists and vast open spaces, game drives feel like true explorations into untamed Africa.

✔ Spectacular Landscapes
Ruaha’s terrain includes rolling hills, open plains, rocky outcrops, baobab forests, and the lifeblood of the park — the Great Ruaha River. The river attracts thirsty wildlife and offers incredible game-viewing opportunities, especially in the dry season.

✔ Birdwatcher’s Dream
With over 570 bird species, Ruaha is a haven for bird lovers. Expect to see everything from colorful bee-eaters and hornbills to fish eagles and giant kingfishers.
