RUAHA NATIONAL PARK

Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of about 20,226 square kilometers. It is located in the southern part of the country, and it is part of the larger Ruaha-Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi ecosystem.

The park is known for its diverse wildlife and beautiful landscapes. It is home to over 570 species of birds, making it a popular destination for birdwatching enthusiasts. The park is also home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and hippos.

Ruaha National Park is known for its rugged, remote beauty. It is characterized by rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and the Great Ruaha River, which flows through the park. The river is a lifeline for the park’s wildlife, attracting large herds of animals during the dry season.

Visitors to Ruaha National Park can enjoy a variety of activities, including game drives, walking safaris, and birdwatching tours. There are also several camps and lodges in and around the park, offering accommodation options for visitors.

Ruaha National Park is a relatively undiscovered gem, offering a more authentic and off-the-beaten-path safari experience compared to more popular destinations like the Serengeti. It is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts looking to explore Tanzania’s wild side.
