Introducing Ruaha National Park
Ruaha is Tanzania’s second-largest national park and forms the core of an almost pristine extended ecosystem covering about 40, 000 sq km.

Entry fees are US$20/5 per adult/child per day.
There are two ordinary camp sites and about five special camp sites. As well as these the park maintains several bandas, about 2km from headquarters, and a rest house. Ruaha River Lodge (0748 237422, 0744 237422; www.tanzaniasafaris.info; s/d all-inclusive US$280/470) is a classy but unpretentious lodge about 15km inside the park gate, with cosy stone bandas and river views.
Hasty Tasty Too in Iringa organises transport from US$130 per vehicle per day, five persons maximum, for two days and one night. There’s no public transport to Ruaha National Park. Safaris can be organised from Dar or Zanzibar (fly/drive).
