Ruaha National Park , located in central Tanzania, is the largest national park in the country, covering approximately 20,226 square kilometres. It is renowned for its rugged and diverse landscapes, which include river valleys, baobab-studded plains, and rocky escarpments.

The park is named after the Great Ruaha River, which flows through it and provides a vital water source for the park’s wildlife. Ruaha is particularly famous for its high concentration of elephants and its rich predator population, including a large pride of lions.

Best Time to Visit

The Best Time to Visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, wildlife congregates around the water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The dry season also offers pleasant weather conditions for game drives and walking safaris. The wet season, from November to May, transforms the park into a lush, green landscape, attracting migratory birds and making it an excellent time for bird watching. However, the wet season can make wildlife viewing more challenging due to the dense vegetation and occasional rains.

Finally, Ruaha National Park stands as an undiscovered jewel in Tanzania, offering an authentic and unspoiled safari experience. With its diverse landscapes, thriving wildlife populations, and a sense of remoteness, Ruaha captivates those seeking a deeper connection with Africa's natural wonders.
