Ruaha National Park

 

Ruaha Landscape

The Ruaha National Park with over 20‚000 sq km‚ is Tanzania’s largest national park yet still remains under-visited as opposed to the other parks in northern Tanzania. This has built the park’s reputation where one can enjoy outstanding levels of wildlife and breath-taking landscapes with almost no other vehicles around.

Ruaha's dramatic scenery includes rolling hills, large open plains, groves of baobabs and the wide Great Ruaha River. Ecosystems in Ruaha National Parks represent a transition zone between the Miombo woodlands common in Southern Africa and the open savannah biomes, typical of northern Tanzania and Kenya. The park is dominated by the Ruaha River and its tributaries, which provide much needed water during the dry season.
