About Ruaha

Ruaha National Park, the largest in Tanzania, is an untouched paradise of golden plains, acacia woodlands, and the mighty Great Ruaha River. It’s a land where elephants roam in herds of hundreds, lions dominate the dry riverbeds, and baobab trees stand like ancient guardians of the wild. Far from the crowds, Ruaha offers an intimate safari experience that captures the true essence of Africa.
