Today, you will head to Ruaha National Park where you will have a game drive in the afternoon. This is a more extensive ecosystem, which includes the Rungwa Game Reserve, Usangu Game Reserve, and several other protected areas. The name of the park is derived from the Great Ruaha River, which flows along its southeastern margin and is the focus of game-viewing. Ruaha is believed to have a higher concentration of elephants than any national park in East Africa. It is also a place where magnificent mammals like kudu, sable, and roan antelopes can easily be spotted in Miombo woodland. The park is also a habitat for endangered wild dogs. Other animals in the park include lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, elands, impalas, bat-eared foxes, and jackals. At sundown, you will drive to Ruaha River Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Ruaha National Park
Ruaha National Park
After breakfast, you dedicate these days to Ruaha for morning and afternoon game drives. You will have all meals at your lodge. You will drive back to the camp at sundown.
Ruaha National Park (10.300km²) is the most visited national park in the southern part of Tanzania. Due to its size and the fact that the South of Tanzania is less visited than the northern parks, you still have ample space and you will see hardly any safari vehicles. Ruaha National Park forms a border between Africa’s eastern and southern ecosystems. Here you will find kudus, which you will find seldom further north, and during the same time, you can see grant gazelles which reach their southernmost breeding area. The source of life in the park is doubtless the Great Ruaha River with its huge numbers of crocodiles and hippos.
