Places to Go - National Parks & Reserves
Tanzania’s second-largest national park after the Serengeti, Ruaha National Park is a remote bastion of spectacular wilderness, undisturbed wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. With herds of more than 10,000 elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species, Ruaha’s limitless wilderness, together with the surrounding game reserves of Rungwa and Kisigo -- stretches over 40,000 square kilometres. Elephants are found in some of the highest concentration in the country, travelling in matriarch-lead herds through ancient grazing lands and seasonal supplies of water.
The Great Ruaha River is the main feature of the park, and meanders through its borders. On its banks, the game viewing is spectacular, whether done by land or by water. Hippos yawn under the midday sun and crocodiles lie lazily along the banks. Fish eagles dive and swoop along the riverbanks, and at night the sound of frogs croaking happily in the reeds extends across the hills and plains. Boating safaris are starting to gain in popularity, and provide a popular alternative to viewing the area by car.
Most of the national park is located on the top of a 900 metre plateau whose ripples of hills, valleys, and plains makes the game viewing topography beautifully unique. Small mountains run along the southwest borders of the park and their tree-covered slopes are visible in the distance. During the rainy seasons, dry river beds swell with the biannual deluge and within days, a thin coat of green covers all the land in sight.
Because of its rather remote location, Ruaha National Park is largely unexplored. Because of this, a safari to the national park often has the feel of a private adventure and an unique experience. For the intrepid wilderness lover and the avid safari explorer, a trip to Ruaha is uniquely rewarding and a perfect piece of Africa.

Ray Young told us:
Absolutely brilliant. I loved the tour to the Serengeti, the guide was very funny and educational as i learned things about Tanzania that i never knew before.
Ravi Chana told us:
My Family of two adults & two Children (aged 15 and 10) thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience booked via Bobby Tours and Safaris in August 2010. The company were most helpful with making arrangements to suit our needs and to accomodate what we wanted within the short space of time we had. They were able to advise and arrange a 4 day safari taking in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Due to late booking on our part the Lodges were not available so we opted for a basic camping trip (which I would thoroughly recommend, as long as you do not mind basic wash facilities). Despite not having any camping experience, or equipment, we really enjoyed the camping experience. Bobby tours had organised all the equipment for us within the price, so we had no worries about carrying our own equipment. The tour company provided us with a car, driver (Umari) and a cook (Macho). Umari was knowledgeable about the local areas, national parks and wildlife, and was very accomodating whenever we needed anything. Macho was great with providing us with Breakfast, Lunch, afternoon tea and Dinner (we even requested him to make us the local staple food of \'Ugali\' which he duely made). All in all this was a great family safari experience, and one which we would recommend to any family that is looking to have fun and enjoy three of the most beautiful places on earth. We would also recommend the use of Booby Tours & safaris. If you need to talk to this company give Jackson Adams or Kassim a call. We found they were able to answer any questions and arrange local hotels and flights too.
Cubbancy told us:
I used Bobby Tours last fall for a trip to Tanzania, and found them very accommodating and easy to work with. They are a mid-range company, but will work with you to arrange the type of trip and the accommodations you want. I stayed at all tented camps during two weeks in Northern Tanzania, with the exception of Ngorongoro, and did single supplements everywhere. I was very happy with all aspects of the trip, and while I would not call it cheap by any means, it certainly was not as expensive as most of the tours that are regularly discussed on this forum. They were recommended to me by Great Lakes Safaris, that I used the previous year for my Uganda,gorilla trek.
