Ruaha National Park
Southern Circuit (Iringa)
PREMIUM Jun-Oct (dry season)
A vast, rugged park where the Great Ruaha River draws big prides of lion and large elephant herds. Ruaha is a transitional zone where eastern and southern species overlap, which makes the birding and antelope list unusually rich. Remoteness keeps visitor numbers low, so the sightings feel genuinely wild.
