Ruaha,Tanzania’s third largest national park , is bordered by Kisigo & Rungwu Game Reserves. It attracts relatively few visitors each year although is becoming popular with the seasoned safari goer and links well with Selous Game Reserve.

The park is home to the largest elephant population in Tanzania, estimated to number over 8,000, as well as a large number of plains game in the park including rare roan antelope and sable as well as predators like lion, leopard and jackel, but it is also a bird lovers paradise with up to 450 recorded species.

When to go? The best months to go to see game are from July to November.
