Ruaha, in the south of Tanzania, is the country’s second largest national park and possesses a rich variety of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, the rare greater kudu and huge herds of buffalo and elephant. Yet, despite its haunting beauty and abundance of game, the remoteness and comparative inaccessibility of Ruaha, have meant that until recent improvements in scheduled flight connections, it has been one of the wildest and least visited parks. It appeals to the seasoned safari enthusiast or those who value unspoilt wilderness.
