Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania making it the largest park in East Africa. The name of the park is derived from the Great Ruaha River, which flows along its southeastern margin and is the focus for game viewing. The park can be reached by private plane and there are 2 airstrips – Msembe airstrip at Msembe (National Park Headquarters), and Jongomeru Airstrip. Noted animals found in this park are East African cheetah and lion, African leopard and wild dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, hippopotamus, African buffalo, and sable antelope. Since 2005, the protected area is considered a Lion Conservation Unit. The park is known for its large elephant population. More than 571 species of birds have been identified in the park. The only lodge inside the park is the Ruaha River Lodge that can be visited at any time of year. Wildlife converges on the dwindling water reserves and river in front of the Lodge. Game can be seen throughout the day from the veranda.

We visited two parks in Northern Tanzania before arriving in Ruaha; all were amazing but Ruaha park gets far fewer visitors and you really experience being "in the African Bush" The animals are more elusive and the terrain is rougher than the Crater or Serengeti. The scenery and guides; as well as the animal sightings are outstanding. I highly recommend IKuka Safari Camp located at the top of a mountain in Ruaha.
