Remote Ruaha is renowned for its pristine wilderness and remarkable elephant population. Excluding rhinoceroses, the park hosts an abundance of all key safari species. The park is home to a substantial lion pride that can boast more than 20 members, and even buffalos, which are not typically common prey, are at risk in this territory.
Positioned at the intersection of East Africa’s acacia savannah and southern Africa’s miombo woodland region, Ruaha boasts a significant variety of avian life. The biodiversity of the avian population is reflected in the park’s impressive roster of 450 bird species. The distinctive crested barbet, known for its incessant trilling, can be observed in Ruaha, as can birds unique to Central Tanzania, like the Yellow-collared lovebird and the ashy starling. Additionally, the park becomes a haven for migratory birds from November to April.
