Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and one of its wildest — yet it remains blissfully uncrowded. This 5-day budget safari immerses you in Ruaha's dramatic landscape of baobab-studded hills, seasonal rivers, and vast plains. The park is famous for its large lion prides, significant wild dog populations, and rare antelope species including greater kudu, sable, and roan. Elephant herds of 200+ are common along the Great Ruaha River. If you want a genuine African wilderness experience without the tourist crowds, Ruaha is the answer.
Fly from Dar es Salaam to Iringa (or drive), then transfer to Ruaha National Park. Arrive at camp on the banks of the Great Ruaha River. Settle in and enjoy a late afternoon game drive along the river.
