Tour Highlights

This vast park, with its few camps, offers visitors an uncrowded glimpse of untouched Africa, with its huge diversity of game, birds and landscapes. It's an area known for its incredible animal sightings, including large herds of elephant and plenty of predators

Tour Introduction

Ruaha is well known for its varied dramatic scenery, which includes rolling hills; large open plains; groves of skeletal baobabs and along its southern border, the Great Ruaha River, from which the park gets its name. This is by far the most dominant geographical feature of the national park and, for the wildlife it is the most important. Ruaha has a hot, dry climate which means the animals don’t tend to stray too far from dependable water sources. This makes predicating game movements far easier particularly in the dry season.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Umulkher Mohammed

My family and i were very fortunate to come across safari56 via instagram,at the beginning we were not having high expectation since the pricing we paid was relatively low compared with the package offered(humanly thoughts),,But safari56 amazed us with our trip the services provided surpassed our expectations by far ,despite the fact that we were a group of 20people Akida made sure everyone of us got absolute full attention. we had enough tour guides with us upon hiking and they were very helpfull and knowledgeable they did help us by carrying our water bottles,bags,phones and wigs(trust me on the wigs part😀😀)there was no pressure upon hiking every one of us had a pace and we were all accomodated respectfully ,,The meals were delicious and we had varieties of options also people with dietary were looked after ,,last but not least we had blast and enjoyed every moment thank you safari56
