Located in central Tanzania, Ruaha National Park is one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas, covering more than 20,000 square kilometres following its expansion in 2008 to incorporate the Usangu Game Reserve and surrounding wetlands. Renowned for its rugged landscapes, ancient baobab trees, and exceptional wildlife diversity, the park is home to one of East Africa’s largest elephant populations, as well as buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, and numerous antelope species. The Great Ruaha River, which forms part of the park’s eastern boundary, provides a vital water source for wildlife and supports thriving populations of crocodiles and hippos. During the dry season, from July to November, animals gather around the remaining water sources, creating spectacular game-viewing opportunities. Ruaha is also a premier birdwatching destination, with hundreds of recorded bird species
