I was very impressed at the diverse variety of birds! Amazing!
I had a very nice tented camp, hippo camp, and did a river safari my furst evening. Saw several bird species and hippos from very far off. We artived too late to do any decent daytime photography, which was very disappointing.
My guide was excellent, I went with Bushroutes, excellent service, they really took good care of me.
the food was plentiful and tasty, weather was pretty good and all in all I was very satisfied with my 8-day safari in Ruaha, Mikumi amd Selous.

A fantastic place!
I have visited four times, in june 2002, in early november 2004 an in january 2009 and 2011.
Honnestly something in me doesn t want to promote this NP so that I can preserve it from increasing tourist pressure... but it deserve to be known for what it is. The scenery is beautifull, at any time of the year, and has a lot of variety. The varied wildlife is present in god numbers but due to the size and in some places, the tickness of the bush, it is not always easy to spot. The park has a lot of lions, antelopes, buffalos, hippos and birdlife. As to elephants, there used to be a lot of them but I am unsure of the present situation since there has been a serious increase in ivory poaching these last years.

One can visit Ruaha and Selous in same safari. Both parks are great for lion prides, elephants and Buffalo herds. These parks are overlooked by many, but they offer everything for a great safari without crowds.

Outstanding experience. We hardly saw any other 4 x 4's, average was about 1 a day.

I had in the Ruaha the best accommodation, the Mwagusi lodge inside the Park with a astonishingly, luxury service.

If you want to feel what wild Africa is, here's the place! You will see a lot of wildlife and a few humans. But be aware that it is not an easy park, besause you don't get tips as in other places to find animals, you have to find them by your own. It is then the most rewarding when you are face to face with a leopard!

Great safari with a wealth of animals to see, especially elephants, giraffes and buffalos.
Ruaha National park is a beautiful park, full of scenery and stunning views even without animals. Plenty of baobap trees and other trees and bushes to see.
The weather was good, warm and mainly sunny which is nice on a jeep where you can pop open the roof. Our accommodation was in Bandas. They are stunning and had really nice beds but unfortunately our bathroom first had a broken shower and later on also a broken toilet. This got fixed but the shower never worked well. Despite that we had a good stay and heard lions roaring nearby during the night.
Dinner and breakfast was nearby but we went on an early morning safari before breakfast which was great as we saw a python.
Our guide was fab, very knowledgable and he showed us a lot of stuff, picked up baobap fruit, elephant poo etc and explained everything so well.
A great safari with lots of animals to see.

Excellent birding in a beautiful National Park with very varied scenery.
Wonderful wildlife, particularly of large numbers of elephants. We had 2 very good leopard sightings and numerous other mammals. Lions were heard but not seen other than in the far distance.
