Ruaha National Park
There’s no need to seek out the wildlife in Tanzania’s 2nd biggest National Park. The moment your plane touches down, a line of zebras parade across the runway, and a leggy giraffe races through the distance past the baobab trees.
The largest elephant population of any East African national park, numbering approximately 10,000, amble through the landscape along the banks of the Great Ruaha River. This rugged wilderness is the best place to spot impala and waterbuck as they risk their lives for a sip of water as they’re stalked by lions, cheetahs and leopards. Striped and spotted hyenas hang around, waiting to clear up after the kill, and if it’s antelopes you’re interested in, Ruaha has the whole range, from Grant’s gazelles and lesser kudus, to sable and roan antelope, and the corkscrew-horned Greater Kudu.
Ruaha is one of Tanzania’s best kept secrets, and with only 20% of the number of visitors who flock to Serengeti, you’ll have the place almost to yourself. Our fully trained guides will point out the 1600 different species of plants and 450 different bird species to be found here, from crested barbet, to lovebirds and ashy starlings.
Authentic Tanzania uses a secluded private campsite in Ruaha on the banks of a dry sand river bed often visited by elephants seeking water, and overlooked by a vast rock outcrop.
The private camp has all the comforts of a permanent camp but provides the excitement and interaction with the environment that only a night under canvas can offer. The camp is booked on an exclusive basis and can cater for families and groups of friends. Experience the authentic Tanzania with us.
Location: Central Tanzania, 128km (80 miles) west of Iringa.
