Ruaha National Park covers an area of 20226 km sq. It is the second largest National Park in Tanzania after the Nyerere National Park. It is one of the few Tanzania’s wilderness area where one can have a rare experience of game viewing spiced up by fascinating landscapes. The park is characterized by semi-arid type of vegetation, baobab trees, Acacia and other species that boasts of her almost untouched and unexplored ecosystem, making visitor’s safari experience very unique. Ruaha National Park has a high diversity of plants and animals including some of rare and endangered species like wild dogs. The park serves as water shade both for wildlife and human being. This makes it to be economically significant as it supports agricultural activities down-stream and contributes to hydro-electric power (HEP) for the country at Mtera and Kidatu Dams. The Great Ruaha River saves as the life line of the park. During dry season, the river becomes mostly the main source of water for life. Also there are few rivers and natural springs saving the same purpose. In the Peak of dry season, elephants obtain water from dry sand rivers using their front feet and trunks. The remaining water falls along the Great Ruaha River are also important habitat for hippos, fish and crocodiles. The Great Rift Valley also runs through the park with escarpment walls rising between 50 and 100 metres in height. They course along the eastern border of the park, a raging torrent at the height of the rains that dwindles to a scattering of precious jewel-like pools when the rains subside. During this time of drought, herbivores risk their lives to take a sip of the life-giving water. A network of game viewing tracks follows the river and its tributaries. Here you will be able to see numerous animals come to drink from the river despite the risk of death. The animals coming to the river to drink attract numerous predators, large prides of lion, stalk the savannah. Cheetahs slink through the grasses, and leopards lurk in tangles thickets along the riverbanks. Ruaha National Park features the largest population of greater kudu in East Africa. These animals are park’s emblem and a characterized by the male’s magnificent corkscrew horns. Ruaha National Park is home to the largest population of elephants in any East Africa natural reserve.
