Ruaha is referred to as Tanzania's best-kept safari secret. African safaris to this remote Tanzanian national park offer an authentic wilderness experience without the crowds of more famous destinations.
We offer affordable private safaris to Ruaha that take you on an exclusive African wildlife adventure on a budget. You can also talk to one of our experts to have a custom safari to Ruaha tailor-made for you and your needs.
Given its remote location, we feature both fly-in and drive-in (overland) safaris to Ruaha, as well as combination safaris that drive to Ruaha and include a return flight to Dar es Salaam. For safaris to the Southern Safari Circuit parks of Tanzania, you will typically drive to Ruaha although there are a few fly-in tours that fly from one park to the next. You can also choose to fly to the airstrip at Ruaha from other Tanzanian parks, such as Serengeti, or safari destinations like Arusha combining northern and southern Tanzanian destinations.
On Ruaha Safaris, accommodation is either at a mobile tented camp inside the national park or at a safari lodge nearby. Our budget-friendly safaris are based at a fully-serviced canvased camp inside Ruaha during the high season (July to mid-November). When the mobile camp is closed in the low season, we stay at a tented lodge just outside of the park.
The camps and lodges at Ruaha range from rustic to relatively luxurious offering a remote and unspoiled African wilderness experience.
