Ruaha Walking Safaris

THE RIVER. The giant baobabs and towering jackalberry trees. That leopard again, grunting at dawn. Exhilarating walks along the water's edge and true exploration of areas few have ever reached. Although it is the largest park in Tanzania, most of Ruaha is rarely accessed, which leaves great expanses for us to enjoy in solitude. 

Our focus is on a remote section of the Ruaha River, which cuts through the great miombo woodlands of Southern Tanzania, long regarded as a last wilderness frontier. We camp in a new place each night and each day walk along the river, spying on crocs and hippos, spotting the rare Pel’s fishing owl or edging into golden floodplains to scan for the beautiful sable, roan or greater kudu antelopes. In Ruaha we have had our best sightings of the endangered African hunting dog and excitement seems to wait around each bend in the river.
