Ruaha National Park
Ruaha’s greatest charm is probably the fact that it is an unspoiled African wilderness, an unexplored game and bird sanctuary covering 12,950sq km.The park lies between two large rivers, the Njombe and Ruaha, with the latter flowing 16km though rugged gorges and rocky broken country, then though lush plains where palm thickets and tall acacia woodland flank it.During the dry season, there is a concentration of game along the river including heards of elephant, giraffe, buffalo and Impala and numerous greater kudu. Crocodiles can be seen basking on the many sandbanks.Stretches of woodland house roan and sable antelope and liechtenstein’s hartebeest, with the lesser kudu found in the open bush country. Elephants can be encountered at the Mbage-Mwagusi track.
