Tanzania's largest National Park, Ruaha is a wilder and more remote park than the other southern park Selous. The rewards of travelling this far are a wild landscape - hills dotted with baobab trees and rocky escarpments- and superb wildlife. Large herds of elephant and buffalo are a common sighting and lion and leopard are abundant. Ruaha also offers an incredible variety of antelope and rare species such as the African wild dog and the striped hyena.
The best accommodation in Ruaha:
Jabali Ridge is Ruaha's most luxurious new safari lodge. It has ten luxurious suites, nestled in between rocky kopjes for the ultimate privacy.
