Arrival & First Full-Day Game Drive

We’ll start by picking you up either from the airport or your accommodation, wherever is most convenient for you. From there, we’ll drive to Ruaha National Park, enjoying the scenic landscapes along the way. Once inside the park, we’ll begin your first game drive, exploring the vast wilderness and spotting elephants by the Great Ruaha River, lions under the shade of ancient baobabs, and graceful bushbucks moving through the tall grass. Since this is a 2 full-day safari, we’ll tailor the start time to your preference — whether you wish to leave early in the morning or a bit later, giving you the most immersive experience from the very first hour.

Sunrise to Sunset wake up at dawn for an early game drive & Return

Wake up early with a fresh morning coffee, taking in the quiet of the wilderness before heading out for an early morning game drive. Experience the park at its most magical — spotting elephants grazing by the river, lions awakening under baobabs, and bushbucks moving gracefully through the tall grass. After a morning of wildlife immersion, return for an early lunch at your lodge or camp, savoring the peaceful surroundings.

In the afternoon, we’ll check out from the park accommodations and head out for another extended game drive until late evening, capturing the final moments of Ruaha’s untamed beauty. As the sun sets, we’ll sign out from the park and drive back to Iringa, carrying with us the memories of two full days completely immersed in the wild — a true bush retreat that lingers in the heart long after the journey ends.
