RUAHA NATIONAL PARK
Ruaha is Tanzania’s big, wild heart. Baobab-studded hills, sand rivers and the Great Ruaha cutting through vast savannah. Massive elephant herds, large lion prides, leopard and African wild dog thrive here. Low visitor numbers and flexible activities create an unhurried, old-school safari with a serious wilderness feel.
