The Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's best-kept wildlife and birding secret, especially for those looking to get away and experience a truly wild and remote safari in the African bushveld.

The Ruaha National Park is famous for its panoramic scenery, baobab trees, sausage trees, open plains, the Great Ruaha River, and wildlife. The Ruaha National Park can and does compete with the best in Africa

Wildlife in and around the Ruaha National Park is nothing short of sensational and includes; lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, hippopotamus, Cape buffalo, and the beautiful sable antelope, to mention only a few. For birders, The Ruaha is one of the best locations on offer in Africa, with 571 species of birds, enough to keep a birder occupied for weeks on end.

May through to November, the dry season in the Ruaha, is the best time for game viewing. For birding in the Ruaha, look at December through to April.
