Tour Overview

4-Days flying safari to one of the best hidden and less visited parks than the national parks in the north. The park is untouched and has authentic remote wilderness areas, thus providing a sense of African adventure unmatched anywhere else on the continent.

Ruaha National Park is the second-largest National Park in Tanzania and covers an area of about 22,000 km². It is one of the few of Tanzania’s famous wilderness areas, whereby the experience of game viewing is spiced up by the exciting landscape and its Great Ruaha River.

The park has a high concentration of elephants, and magnificent mammals like greater and lesser kudus, sable and roan antelopes can easily be spotted in miombo woodland. The park is also a habitat for endangered wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, bat-eared foxes and jackals.

Tour Itinerary
Day by Day

By morning, depart Dar es Salaam, flying to Ruaha National Park Msembe Airstrip. On arrival at Msembe Airstrip, you will be met by a driver-guide. Before heading on a game drive en route to the lodge, a brief introduction to the surrounding area. Once at the lodge, you will have the opportunity to relax and familiarise yourself.

In the afternoon, you can head out on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle. Then, as evening approaches, it’s time to return to the lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Depending on your favourite, there are a couple of options regarding how your day is planned. Guided bush walks are a great way to start the day, wake up early in the morning and discover the environment on equal footing as the wildlife. Walking along the firmed trail through the African bushes differs from game drives.

Picnic or delicious breakfasts to be enjoyed in the lodge, followed by options for a full day of game drives with picnic lunches or a relaxed lunch with an afternoon game drive. Regardless of sharing vehicles on a Game Package basis, the lodge will do everything to ensure your ideal structure is met.

After breakfast, pack your bags and say farewell as you depart for Msembe Airstrip for your scheduled flight to Dar es Salaam Airport. Wave goodbye to Ruaha and enjoy an en-route game drive to the airstrip.
