activities
· Unrivalled Walking Safaris.
A guided walking safari in Ruaha is a truly friendly way to experience the beauty and magic of this magnificent park. You will be guided by an armed and experienced guide and they will help you to feel the real African experience. Encountering the game on foot gives you a fully awesome wilderness experience that is exciting and memorable.
· Birding in Ruaha.
Birding in Ruaha National Park is an extremely interesting and rewarding activity one can do when visiting the area. The park hosts more than 574 species of birds.
The remote areas are difficult to access particularly during the wet season; therefore, little ‘serious’ birding has been done in these seldom visited places. This makes it even more exciting as one can never be sure what one will see.
· Boat safaris.
Boat trips in Ruaha offer an amazing chance to get up close with animals such as hippos as well as view a lot of game along the river as they come over for a drink of water in hot weather conditions during a sunny day.
· Game drives
The largeness of the park means that there is a lot to explore and experience. A guided night game drive is a rare and valuable opportunity to encounter Africa’s elusive nocturnal animals (the impossible ones).
· Balloon safari.
Experience an African safari from the sky! One of the stunning activities to do in Ruaha national park is to enjoy Africa’s wilderness from the bird's eye.
· Visits to numerous historical and cultural sites in and around Ruaha national park.
Best time to visit
Ruaha National Park is a typical dry-season park, with the best time to see larger mammals and predators being between mid-May and December. As water becomes scarce toward the end of the dry season, animals tend to gather around available water sources, offering supreme game-viewing opportunities.
During the wet season from January to April the bush becomes lush and green and many migratory birds arrive from the northern climes, making it a perfect bird-watching paradise.
