Fantastic Wildlife in Ruaha
David L. · Canada · 11 Apr 2026

This 4-day Ruaha National Park wildlife safari exceeded all expectations. Ruaha is a truly wild and rugged park, with incredible predator sightings. We saw lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard! The sheer scale of the park is impressive, and the relative lack of crowds made it feel very exclusive. Our guide was exceptional, with an uncanny ability to spot animals. The accommodation was rustic but charming, fitting perfectly with the wild surroundings. A must-visit for serious wildlife enthusiasts.

The 3-day Selous Game Reserve safari was truly special. The boat safari on the Rufiji River was unlike anything I've experienced – so many hippos and crocodiles!
