RUAHA NATIONAL PARK

Ruaha National Park – Covering about 13,000 square kilometres, Ruaha is the largest Tanzanian National Park. The Ruaha park has a wide-ranging ecosystem including Rungwa Game Reserve, Usangu Game Reserve, and several other protected areas.

The name Ruaha is originated from the great Ruaha River, which flows along its South-Eastern border and is most popular for the game–viewing oppertunity.

Tanzania’s Ruaha is home to a high concentration of elephants as compared to other parks in East Africa. It is also a place where a diverse number of animals are spotted like lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffes, zebras, elands, impala, bat-eared foxes and Jackals. Ruaha National Park is a habitat for endangered wild dogs too.

Regardless of large animals, this Tanzanian safari park has also been identified as having a number of reptiles and amphibians such as crocodiles, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, monitor lizards, agama lizards and frogs.

Recorded with over 1650 plant species, the park is characterized by a semi-arid type of vegetation, baobab trees, Acacia and other species.
