The Adventure in Ruaha National Park

Ruaha is a wonderful National Park beautifully situated along the fertile Ruaha River in a hilly landscape dotted with centuries old baobabs. Despite the fact that you can view all the animals of the popular Serengeti and Ngorogoro, it is much less visited. You will be completely in peace with the nature, seeing only a handful of other cars per day. The tour starts from Iringa after breakfast and drive to Ruaha National Park which will take almost 2 to 3 hours. Lunch will be served in the park and after lunch continue with game drive and later drive back. Ruaha is unique and provides different species of animals and leaves the clients with life long memories.

Ruaha National Park was gazetted in earl 50’s covering an area of 10,300 kmsq, the main reason was to protect a certain habitat called Miombo. What makes Miombo is very technical; it characterized into two species of trees (Julbernardia and brachystagia) Miombo in-housing different type of animals and birds. The park extended in terms of size because of the misuse of water in the catchment site of Ruaha which led the river to dry out and now it’s the Tanzania largest National Park with an area of 20226 kmsq.
