Although the wildlife is a bit more elusive, you will have this park virtually to yourself. And it is a vast expanse of river, woodland and grassy plain open to exploration. If you self drive, you must endure the long, rough access road. But you can camp anywhere, with no neighbors except the odd cheetah. Safari as it is meant to be.

Not found a better competitor to my friends Fox family Ruaha River Lodge! Am biased but its value for money.

In the dry season the wildlife congregates around the river pools. I have happy memories of watching two male hippos contesting the right to occupy one pool: they used excrement-spraying and eventually worked who was dominant without the use of violence. We stayed in the main safari lodge which was excellent with wonderful views from the dining area

An absolutely amazing experience in every way with beautiful scenery, animals at every turn - and relatively few other tourists. The Ruaha that we saw is an unspoilt gem and I defy anyone to go there and not fall in love with Tanzania.

Ruaha National park is one of the best destination in Tanzania for game viewing during the dry season. Rivers water concentrate wildlife and you can see a lot of animals around. Landscapes are beautiful and variuos, there are just a few camps so not so many peoples around....

Plenty of animals, lovely birds, beautiful scenery. The rainy season brings out wonderful flora and more birdlife. Exciting to see a different Africa!

Amazing experience - recommended!
We went in the low season and almost had the park to ourselves. I believe we only saw 4 other cars over the entire journey! The park itself is great; next time we'd also like to do a night safari!

Great wildlife viewing, quality accomodations, excellent experience start to finish
My wife and I took Coastal Aviation's last minute tour package, and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The ground and flight crew at the airports were professional and got us there and back safely. Once we arrived, we were promptly picked up and immediately set out on our safari. Our guides were great and really went out of their way to make sure we had a great wildlife viewing experience. They were willing to head out very early and stay out as late as we wanted on our game drives.
The accommodations were pretty nice as well, with a great outdoor shower. It was great to be in a bush camp environment, and it really added to the whole safari experience. It was by no means 5*, but everything was excellent quality, especially for the price. There was even hot water! The food was the only thing that wasn't spectacular, but there was enough of it, which is probably more important.
