DAY 2 and DAY 3 –  Ruaha National Park

We spend these full days discovering and exploring Ruaha National Park. We can choose the activities we prefer (game drive or walking safari).

Ruaha lies 130 kilometers west of Iringa town. Its name derived from the Great Ruaha River, which flows through it creating spectacular gorges and  scenery. Hippos, crocodiles, turtles and fish inhabit the river.

The  park is also known for its sable and  roan antelopes, and  its rich bird life. With herds of more than 10,000 elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species, Ruaha’s limitless wilderness, together with the surrounding game reserves of Rungwa and Kisigo stretches over 40,000 square kilometres.

Elephants are found in some of the highest concentration in the country, travelling in matriarch-

lead herds through ancient grazing lands and seasonal supplies of water. The Great Ruaha River is the main feature of the park, and  meanders through its borders. On its banks, the game viewing is spectacular, whether done by land  or by water. Hippos yawn under the midday sun and  crocodiles lie lazily along the banks. Fish eagles dive and  swoop along the riverbanks, and  at night the sound of frogs croaking happily in the reeds extends across the hills and  plains.

Dinner and  overnight at Mdonya River Camp.

DAY 4 –  Dar Es Salaam

After breakfast we have last game drive on the way to the airstrip. We fly back to Dar by flight.
