Safari to experience the beauty of the Ruaha Park.
Travel to Ruaha National Park, Tanzania’s largest park, to experience a magical journey through the most pristine and wild lands. Safari Avventura will take you to discover this place and the many and varied animals that inhabit it, such as lyacons, elephants and lions.
Are you ready to go?
Arriving by plane from Dar Es Salam or Zanzibar (flight not included, except on request) in the landing strip of Msembe, home of the park, you will embark on a nice jeep photo safari in the vast Ruaha Park.
The Ruaha is located in the centre of Tanzania, about 130 kilometres from Iringa, and is part of a larger ecosystem comprising the Rungwa Game Reserve, the Usangu Game Reserve and many other protected areas. It is also the largest park in Tanzania and East Africa, with an area of approximately 20,226 km square.
The park’s name stems from the Great Ruaha River, which flows along its south-eastern border and is the heart of the game drive, as its banks become rich in animal life during the dry season (June/December), making it the preferred hunting ground for lions, leopards and cheetahs.
The Ruaha is also one of Tanzania’s bird paradises with over 571 different species present.
Packed lunch will be served at the park.
Today’s game drive in the vast Ruaha will start very early in the morning, with breakfast served at the park. The game drive will continue after breakfast in pursuit of wild animals in different areas of the park.
The Ruaha has the highest elephant concentration compared to any other national park in East Africa. It is also a place where magnificent mammals such as the Kudu and the antelopes of Sable and Roan can be easily spotted. The park is as well the perfect habitat for endangered lyacon species. Other animals that can be seen here are lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, impalas, bat-eared foxes, jackals, crocodiles, etc.
Packed lunch in the park.
Dinner and overnight accommodation at the lodge.
Today we continue with a morning game drive before returning back, departing this timeless and enchanting place.
You will then be escorted to the Msembe airstrip after that to catch your plane back to Dar Es Salam or Zanzibar (not included, available only on request).

What is the best time of year for a trip to Tanzania? Tanzania has a tropical climate. In the highlands, temperatures vary between 10 and 20°C during the cold and hot seasons, respectively. The hottest period is from November to February (25-31°C), while the coldest period occurs between May and August (15-20°C).
For a safari in Tanzania, it is advisable to carry both lighter clothes and a half-weight to be able to better cope with the large temperature range between day and night. You should also carry a backpack, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, binoculars, a hat and toiletries.
No mandatory vaccinations are required unless you are coming from a yellow fever transmission risk country or transiting through one before reaching Tanzania. If you are transiting or coming from countries where yellow fever is at risk of transmission then you will have to have the preventive yellow fever vaccine.
Two documents are needed for a safari in Tanzania: a passport, which must have a residual validity of at least six months when entering the country, an entry visa for tourist travel, which costs 42.40 euros and is applied for before departure at the Tanzanian Embassy in Rome or the Honorary Consulate in Milan.
