Ruaha National Park is located just south of the central midpoint of Tanzania. The national park encompasses an area of 7,809 square miles (20,226 sq km) making it the largest national park in Tanzania and one of the largest in Africa. It is close to the renowned\u00a0Selous Game Reserve.<\/p>

Ruaha National Park is part of the larger Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi ecosystem that covers an area of 17,000 square miles (45,000 sq km).\u00a0 Along with Ruaha, the area includes two other game reserves and a wildlife management area.\u00a0 There are three primary areas for safari game-viewers to explore.\u00a0 The Ruaha River area is the most stunning with Mdonya woodlands and the Mbage-Mwagusi circuit.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Ngalambulwa Mountain is the tallest point in the park reaching a summit of 5,250 feet (1,600 m).\u00a0 Grasslands and rocky terrain surround this massif adding to the varying landscapes.<\/p>

The great Ruaha River travels along the southeastern border of the park.\u00a0 The river name serves as the source for the national park name.\u00a0 This water source also serves as a draw for safari game viewing.\u00a0 A second river, Njombe traverses the park through gorges and rocky broken landscapes.\u00a0 Crocodiles can be commonly seen sunning on the banks of the rivers.<\/p>

The dry seasons shrink the river, which draws wildlife in for drinking.\u00a0 It becomes an excellent game viewing area.\u00a0 The large gatherings of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, kudu, and impala can often be seen in herds around the riverbeds.\u00a0 The Mdonya woodlands are a great area for seeing hartebeest, sable, and roan antelope.\u00a0 The Mbage-Mwagusi circuit provides a good chance for seeing elephants.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The largest collection of elephants is located here in Ruaha compared to anywhere else in Tanzania. Similarly, there is almost a guarantee that safari-goers will see Great Kudu because of their population.<\/p>

The park\u2019s predators feature lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, and wild dogs.\u00a0 The park serves as one of Tanzania\u2019s Lion Conservation Units.\u00a0 Giraffe, buffalo, hippopotamus, zebra, warthog, and sable antelope are some of the popular species found within the park.<\/p>

Ruaha is also a bird lovers\u2019 paradise with over 570 species of birds found within the park.\u00a0 Hornbills, raptors, bee-eaters, rollers, and many other species make bird-watching a popular activity in the park.\u00a0 This is also home to the rare Eleonora\u2019s Falcon during the months of December and January.<\/p>

The park offers hides and tree houses which are situated in places that provide excellent views of the watering spots most frequented by wildlife.\u00a0 These are inspirational opportunities to have stunning views of the wildlife apart from the traditional vehicle safari.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
