You will be picked up from the hotel, have breakfast, and then depart for Ruaha National Park in approximately 5 hours. You will have lunch upon arrival. You will start with an afternoon to evening game drive. The eponymous Great Ruaha River serves as a lifeline for the park’s wildlife. Although it’s one of the largest national parks in the country and rich in wildlife, Ruaha is one of the least busy places to visit in Tanzania, so safaris here feel remote and exclusive. Your dinner and overnight stay will be in Ruaha Park Cottages.
