Ruaha National Park
About Ruaha National Park
Located In Central Tanzania, 128km West Of Iringa, Ruaha National Park, Second Largest In Tanzania, The Reserve Is Perhaps The Least Well-Known. Covering A Conservation Area Of 10,300 Square Kilometres In The South-West Of The Country, Ruaha Sprawls Within And Along The Great Rift Valley, Covering A Unique Transition Zone Where The Eastern And Southern Species Of Both Fauna And Flora Meet Against A Dramatic Topographical Backdrop.
This Is Also One Of The Few Tanzanian Parks Where Sightings Of The Rarer Antelope, Such As The Sable, The Roan And Both Lesser & Greater Kudu, Are A Probability Rather Than A Possibility. The Proliferation Of Plains Game In The Park Also Ensures That The Larger Predators – Leopard And Large Prides Of Lion – Are Unusually Active. The Bird Life, Too, Is Unparalleled With Some 530 Species Recorded. Activities Such As Game Drives, Day Walks And Hiking Safaris Can Be Done
, Maswa, Ikorongo And Grumeti Game Reserves, Ikona And Makao Wildlife Management Areas, Ngorongoro Game Controlled Area, Village Lands And The Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. Aside From Its Largest Herds Of Migrating Wildlife, The Ecosystem Is Also An Important Sanctuary To The Continent’s Most Endangered Species, Notably The Black Rhino And The African Wild Dog.
