About Ruaha National Park
Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park, covering 20,226 square kilometers of pristine wilderness in central Tanzania. Named after the Great Ruaha River, this remote park offers an authentic, uncrowded safari experience.
The park is famous for its large predator populations—home to 10% of Africa's lions and significant numbers of leopards, cheetahs, and the endangered African wild dog. The dramatic landscape features ancient baobab trees, rocky escarpments, and seasonal rivers.
Ruaha hosts large herds of elephants and buffalo, plus significant populations of greater and lesser kudu, sable and roan antelope. Over 570 bird species have been recorded, including several endemics found nowhere else in East Africa.
The park's remoteness ensures an exclusive, intimate safari experience. With our accessible services and sign language support, you'll explore this wild paradise with full confidence and understanding.
