Journey Through Tanzania, Your Essential Travel Resources
Ruaha National Park is one of Tanzania's big and very clean places that's protected, located in the southern part of the country. Established in 1964 and covering an area of approximately 20,226 square kilometers, Ruaha is Tanzania's second-largest national park, renowned for its rugged landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and abundant wildlife. The park is named after the Great Ruaha River, which flows through its heart, providing a lifeline for wildlife and creating a scenic backdrop for safari adventures. Ruaha National Park is celebrated for its remote wilderness, offering visitors a true African safari experience away from the crowds.

Scenic Landscapes: Ruaha's landscapes vary from open savannah plains and miombo woodlands to rocky hills, riverine forests, and the Great Ruaha River.
Dry Season (June to October) : This is the best time to visit Ruaha National Park, as wildlife congregates around water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is dry and cool, with clear skies, offering excellent visibility for wildlife viewing and photography.
Wet Season (November to May): While the wet season experiences occasional rainfall, it is also a good time to visit Ruaha as the landscape transforms into a lush green paradise. Birdwatching is particularly rewarding during this time, and the park is less crowded with tourists.

Incredible trip with our incredible guide, Danny. Not the usual safari: we spent time living with the Maasai and explored 3 different parks seeing all the animals (except the leopard - this time!).
