Ruaha National Park - Nyumbu Beyond Journeys

Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s largest national park, covering over 20,000 square kilometers in the south-central part of the country. It is renowned for its rugged landscapes, vast savannahs, and diverse ecosystems that support a wide variety of wildlife.

The park is named after the Great Ruaha River, which flows along its southeastern border, providing a crucial water source for the animals, especially during the dry season. Ruaha is part of the Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi ecosystem, making it an important conservation area.

Ruaha is a perfect destination for travelers looking for an authentic and remote safari experience, away from the crowds of northern Tanzania. It is accessible via air from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar or by road from Iringa.
