Ruaha: A Wildlife Paradise
Covering over 20,000 square kilometers, Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s largest national park, yet it remains wonderfully uncrowded. This pristine wilderness offers an authentic safari experience like no other, with its diverse landscapes ranging from rolling hills and open plains to groves of baobab trees and the life-giving Great Ruaha River.
Wildlife enthusiasts will be thrilled by the park’s incredible biodiversity. Ruaha is home to 10% of the world’s lion population, with prides often numbering 20 or more. The park also boasts large herds of elephants, buffalo, and a significant population of endangered African wild dogs. Lucky visitors might even spot the elusive leopard or cheetah.”I’ve been on many safaris, but Ruaha took my breath away. The sheer number of animals and the feeling of being in untouched wilderness was unparalleled,” says Sarah, a recent visitor from the UK.
