Located in south-central Tanzania, Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in the country and one of Africa’s most untouched wilderness areas. Named after the Great Ruaha River that flows along its southeastern border, the park is a sanctuary for vast herds of elephants, prides of lions, and some of the highest concentrations of predators in Africa. Its remote location and dramatic landscapes — ranging from rolling hills and rocky outcrops to baobab-studded plains — offer a truly authentic safari experience far from the crowds.

Ruaha is part of a larger ecosystem that supports over 10,000 elephants, 500 bird species, and a rich mix of wildlife from both East and Southern Africa. Its quiet, raw beauty and exceptional biodiversity make it a favorite for seasoned safari-goers, photographers, and anyone seeking the thrill of the wild in its purest form.
