Ruaha National Park
Ruaha National Park & Attractions
Ruaha National Park is one of Tanzania’s oldest and largest national parks, covering over 20,000 square kilometres. Located in the heart of the country, it is renowned for its stunning landscapes, including the Great Ruaha River, which serves as a lifeline for the park’s diverse wildlife. The park features a mix of ecosystems, from savannahs and woodlands to riverine forests, creating a rich habitat for a variety of species.
Ruaha is relatively remote and less visited compared to other parks, offering a more exclusive and pristine safari experience. If you want to experience the ‘old glory’ of African safaris as they were over 50 years ago, with wild, uncharted landscapes and rugged camping experiences, Ruaha is the park to visit. Ruaha promises an extraordinary Tanzania Safari amidst the untamed African wilderness.
The Best Time to Visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. However, since the park is very large, you are sure to have a wonderful experience any time of year, with lush scenery in the wet season and incredible sunsets in the drier months
We will make sure your Safari goes smoothly
Best Time To Visit Ruaha National Park
The Best Time to Visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, the weather is cooler, and wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The wet season, from November to April, brings lush scenery and fewer tourists, but wildlife can be more dispersed, and some areas may be inaccessible due to heavy rains.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
