Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s largest national park, covering over 20,000 km² of pristine wilderness in the south-central region of the country. Known for its diverse wildlife, vast savannahs, and the meandering Great Ruaha River, the park offers one of the most authentic and off-the-beaten-path safari experiences in East Africa.

Ruaha is home to one of the largest elephant populations in Tanzania and hosts a wide range of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and hippos. Birdwatchers will be delighted by over 570 recorded bird species, including the rare Racket-tailed Roller and African Finfoot. The park’s mix of acacia woodlands, baobab-studded plains, and riverine forests creates a stunning natural backdrop for wildlife photography and game drives.

A safari in Ruaha offers both game drives and walking safaris, giving visitors a chance to explore the park’s incredible biodiversity from multiple perspectives. The Great Ruaha River attracts hippos and crocodiles, providing unique water-based wildlife viewing opportunities rarely found in other Tanzanian parks.

With Liora Africa Safaris, your Ruaha National Park safari is carefully organized with expert guides, comfortable 4x4 safari vehicles, and handpicked lodges and tented camps ranging from luxury to mid-range. We can also combine Ruaha with other Tanzania safari destinations such as Selous Game Reserve, Mikumi, or the Serengeti for a comprehensive East African adventure.
