SC01 – Fly-Into Ruaha National Park

Day 1: Dar es Salaam – Ruaha National Park

In the morning, we pick you from an agreed point and transfer you to the airport for your flight to Ruaha, which leaves at 08:30 am by Coastal Aviation. On arrival at 09:50 am, Meet and Greet with your driver guide from Kanuth Adventure Safari, who will give you a brief about safari and the park, then leave for a 3 hours wilderness walking safari accompanied with an armed ranger guide who will guide you to get close to the animals, plants, fingerprints, and animals along the river for fine pictures. Meet your guide with a car again and drive to your accommodation for a check-in and hot lunch. After little afternoon rest, then leave again for an evening game drive. Ruaha National Park benefits from the dispersal and migration of other wildlife from its ecosystem coming down from the northern game reserves of Kizigo and Rungwa, giving the park a huge boost in the concentration of wildlife. There are large numbers of Buffalos, Elephants, Kudus, Zebra, Giraffes, Lions, Impalas, and Elands.

Day 2:Full Day at Ruaha National Park

Morning and afternoon game drives in the Park. On any given day, Ruaha National Park has the potential to showcase a good number of bio diversities in just one-third of the park size. From our experience within the Msembe and Jongomeru area, you might see the Silver Back Jackal, Elephants that walked into the camp, Hippos that foraged around the camp at night, African hunting dogs that trotted past our vehicle, a pride of 18 lions that were hunting, and the superb Lesser and Greater Kudus seen at every southern section of the park. The park’s vegetation also boasts Palm, Fig, Tamarind, and Baobab trees that are not commonly seen in other parks. There are over 1600 plant species and over 370 bird species confirmed in the park.
