Ruaha national park

Ruaha National Park is a protected area located in central Tanzania, east Africa. The park covers an area of approximately 20,226 square kilometers and is the largest national park in Tanzania.

Ruaha is known for its diverse wildlife, including large populations of elephants, lions, leopards, and several antelope species such as sable antelope, roan antelope, and greater kudu. The park is also home to over 400 bird species, including the endemic Ruaha red-billed hornbill.

The park is characterized by its rugged and remote landscape, which includes hills, valleys, and riverine forests. The Great Ruaha River, which runs through the park, is an important water source for the wildlife and provides a unique habitat for aquatic species such as hippos and crocodiles.

Ruaha National Park is considered one of the best parks in Tanzania for walking safaris, offering a unique and immersive way to experience the park’s wildlife and landscape. Game drives and night drives are also popular activities in the park, as well as birding safaris and fly camping.

The park is located in a remote area of Tanzania and is not as easily accessible as some of the other national parks in the country. However, for those who are able to make the journey, Ruaha National Park offers an unparalleled wilderness experience, with vast open spaces and abundant wildlife.
