Best Tanzania Safari Destinations | Tanzania’s top safari parks and game reserves

Ruaha national park is one of Tanzania’s famous wilderness areas where one can have a rare experience of game viewing spiced up by the fascinating landscape. The park is rich in plants and animals such as Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) which can not be found in any other national park. The park boasts of its almost untouched and unexplored ecosystem, making visitors’ safari experience very unique.

The Great Ruaha River and other rivers like Mwagusi, Jongomero, and Mzombe save as the lifeline of the park. During the dry season, these rivers become mostly the main source of water for wildlife. There are few natural springs saving the same purpose.

In the pick dry season, elephants obtain water from dry sand rivers using their front feet and trunks. The remaining waterfalls along the Great Ruaha River are also important habitats for hippopotami, fish, and crocodiles.
