Southern Tanzania
Rugged, remote and gloriously empty.
Ruaha National Park
Baobab hills and sand rivers in Tanzania's largest national park, known for big lion prides and few vehicles.
Overview
Ruaha sits where East and Southern African ecosystems meet, which gives it an unusual mix of species — greater and lesser kudu, sable and roan alongside classic savanna wildlife.
It is wild, rocky and sparsely visited. Sightings here are often shared with nobody else.
Why Visit
- Exceptional predator viewing, with very large lion prides
- Baobab-studded hills and dramatic river scenery
- Almost no vehicle traffic
- Ideal second leg for repeat visitors to Tanzania

Location
Ruaha FAQs
It is spectacular, but remote. First-time visitors usually pair it with the northern circuit rather than visiting alone.
