Ruaha is one of Southern Tanzania's most isolated and least accessible parks. As a result, it has only a few safari camps and remains as one of the most untamed and least traveled game reserves in Africa. Ruaha is a birdwatcher's paradise, as there are 350 species of bird that are not found in Northern Tanzania. The rivers run through spectacular gorges and thick forests. Ruaha is, therefore, especially appealing to photographers. Walking safaris, and game viewing from vehicles (4 wheel drive) are also quite popular, and a great way to travel deep into the park. Game includes: elephant, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog and antelope.
