An untouched and remote slice of wilderness, Ruaha National Park isn't just Tanzania's second-largest park, it's an authentic opportunity to explore the depths of one of the last unspoiled stretches of Africa. Easily combined with the Nyerere National Park (new name for the Selous) on a Southern Circuit safari, the park's vibrant ecosystem provides an unbridled old-world safari experience.
