Tanzania
Ruaha
Tanzania's best secret — almost without tourists
Tanzania's largest park, least visited. Wild dogs, massive elephant herds and a landscape that exceeds all expectations.
Request travel proposal →Ruaha National Park is 20,226 km² of pristine wilderness in the heart of Tanzania — nearly one and a half times larger than the Serengeti. Yet it attracts fewer visitors per year than the Serengeti in one week. That is exactly the magic of Ruaha. No queue of jeeps at a leopard. No fixed routes. Just you, your guide and a landscape that feels like no human has ever been there.

Zones & Areas
Each section of the park has its own character and best season.
Great Ruaha River
The river is the lifeblood of the park in the dry season. Elephants, crocodiles and hippos gather here in incredible numbers. This is your theatre.
Miombo woodland
The rolling miombo woodland is the habitat of the African wild dog — one of Africa's most endangered species. Ruaha has one of the world's largest populations.
