Ruaha National Park

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, which typically occurs from June to October. During this period, vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot, and animals congregate around water sources, providing excellent opportunities for game viewing. The dry season also coincides with Ruaha's peak tourist season, offering optimal weather conditions for safari activities and wildlife photography.

Wildlife

  • Lions: Ruaha National Park is home to a healthy population of lions, including prides that are known for their large size and impressive hunting skills. Visitors may witness these apex predators stalking prey on the savannah or lounging in the shade of acacia trees during the heat of the day.
  • Elephants: Ruaha boasts one of the largest elephant populations in Tanzania, with herds of up to 10,000 individuals known to roam the park. Visitors can observe these gentle giants as they move gracefully through the woodlands and along the riverbanks, often engaging in social interactions and bathing in the Great Ruaha River.
  • Leopards: While more elusive than lions, leopards inhabit the dense woodlands and rocky outcrops of Ruaha National Park. Patient visitors may be rewarded with sightings of these elusive big cats as they stalk prey or seek refuge in the branches of trees.
  • Buffaloes: Cape buffaloes are another prominent feature of Ruaha's wildlife population, forming large herds that graze on the park's grasslands and congregate around water sources during the dry season.
  • Giraffes: Towering giraffes can be seen gracefully moving through the savannah, their long necks allowing them to reach high into the trees for leaves and shoots.
