Ruaha National Park
Ruaha is Tanzania's largest national park and one of Africa's great wilderness secrets, sitting at a fascinating ecological crossover point between southern and eastern African species.
It is believed to hold the largest lion population of any national park on the continent, alongside significant numbers of African wild dog, one of Africa's most endangered predators.
Wildlife & Highlights
The landscape is defined by the Great Ruaha River and dramatic baobab-studded hills, and because it receives a fraction of the visitors of the northern parks, game drives here feel genuinely wild and uncrowded.
Best Time To Visit
June to November, the dry season, when wildlife concentrates along the Great Ruaha River as smaller water sources dry up.
