Ruaha Safari – The Activities

Daytime game drives are the main activity in Ruaha Safari. Because of the many elephants wandering around the park, some camps have opted to not offer walking safaris.

The camps that still have walking safaris, offer tours with seasoned guides which are very familiar with the park and its wildlife.

The Best Time for Ruaha Safari

The Ruaha National Park is a typical dry season park. Visitors who’re looking to experience animals from close distances should go to the park when the water holes and rivers begin drying up. It’s during this time of the year when the animals gather around remaining water sources.
