Why
Visit Ruaha National Park
•
Untouched and
Pristine Nature: Ruaha is one of the less frequented
national parks in Tanzania making the wildlife less
adapted to humans.
Ruaha
is less frequented because: (a)
it is not well known compared to its sister park, the
Serengeti. (b) It is incorrectly assumed to be very far
away and not accessible but it is easily accessible. (c)
It is misconstrued to be a very expensive national park
to visit but the pricing structure for park fees and
accommodations are just a little over industry standards
when compared to others in Tanzania. The above industry
standard rates are understood by the value received from
its remoteness and pristine environment.
• Personalized Wildlife Watching: BecauseRuaha
National Park is
expanding yearly; the chances of bumping into other
vehicles that can startle an animal you may be already
watching is limited, and we can say this from our
personal experience.
•
Lots To Discover: There are no access restrictions in
the areas where the park authorities have formal tracks
meaning a visitor can explore much of the park where
they are permitted. In addition, the Tanzania park
authorities are adding more routes by carefully
monitoring the ecological impact thus ascertaining that
the wildlife remains undisturbed as much as possible.
There are plans to add up to 1500 kilometers of road
networks.
•
High Concentration Of Wildlife: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, Impala's and Elands
•
Increased Biodiversity: On any given day,Ruaha
National Park has the potential to showcase a good
number of biodiversities in just one-third of the park
size. From our experience within the Msembe and Jongomeru area we discovered the Silver Back Jackal,
Elephants that walked into our 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 vegetation of
park 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.
•
Preserved Vegetation: Ruaha ecosystem and its
surrounding has seen not been faced with livestock
grazing problems, which has helped the vegetation remain
intact.
•
Accommodation Fairly Priced: Accommodations in
Ruaha
National Park cater to all personalities making it a
must visit park for any person visiting Tanzania. As
stated earlier, the slightly increased costs is
reflective of the value the park offers in terms of
remoteness and exclusivity.
•
Walking Safaris:
Ruaha
National Park is one of the few national
parks in Tanzania where walking safari is permitted when
accompanied by an armed ranger. This liberty gives
outdoors and nature enthusiasts an opportunity to
receive an up close and person treatment of the offering
in dense places where safari vehicles cannot penetrate.
