Day 3

Game Drives in Ruaha National Park

Game Drives in Ruaha National Park

Have breakfast followed by a full-day game viewing drive in Ruaha National Park. A fine network of game-viewing roads follows the Great Ruaha and its seasonal tributaries, where, during the dry season, impala, waterbuck and other antelopes risk their life for a sip of life-sustaining water. The risk is considerable: not only from the pride of 20-plus lions that lord over the savannah, but also from the cheetahs that stalk the open grassland and the leopards that lurk in tangled riverine thickets. This impressive array of large predators is boosted by both striped and spotted hyenas, as well as several conspicuous packs of the highly endangered African wild dog. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Old Msembe Bandas. Meals plan: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
