Closer to Dar, this is a better-known park, with also plenty of wildlife. Big cats often spotted.
Less touristy compared to the Northern Parks. A bit less wildlife, but feeling-into-the-wild rating is great!! You can chase wildlife without meeting other tourists for hours!!

Although the wildlife is a bit more elusive, you will have this park virtually to yourself. And it is a vast expanse of river, woodland and grassy plain open to exploration. If you self drive, you must endure the long, rough access road. But you can camp anywhere, with no neighbors except the odd cheetah. Safari as it is meant to be.

Not found a better competitor to my friends Fox family Ruaha River Lodge! Am biased but its value for money.

In the dry season the wildlife congregates around the river pools. I have happy memories of watching two male hippos contesting the right to occupy one pool: they used excrement-spraying and eventually worked who was dominant without the use of violence. We stayed in the main safari lodge which was excellent with wonderful views from the dining area

An absolutely amazing experience in every way with beautiful scenery, animals at every turn - and relatively few other tourists. The Ruaha that we saw is an unspoilt gem and I defy anyone to go there and not fall in love with Tanzania.

One of the best things about Ruaha when I visited was that you felt as if you were the only people there - in contrast to the better-known parks, where there were always crowds of vehicles around anything interesting. There was a great variety of wildlife, although we weren't all that successful with seeing the big cats.

Ruaha National park is one of the best destination in Tanzania for game viewing during the dry season. Rivers water concentrate wildlife and you can see a lot of animals around. Landscapes are beautiful and variuos, there are just a few camps so not so many peoples around....
