Tanzania's largest national park is its best-kept secret — 20,000 square kilometres of rugged baobab country holding ten percent of the world's lions and a fraction of the Serengeti's visitors.
Ruaha is where East and southern African wildlife overlap: greater kudu, sable and roan antelope alongside elephant, buffalo and vast lion prides. The Great Ruaha River anchors dry-season game viewing, and the sheer remoteness means game drives often see no other vehicle all day.
Questions
Almost everyone flies — daily scheduled flights connect Ruaha with Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and (via hubs) Arusha.
