Tour Overview

What Makes This Safari Stand Out

Ruaha National Park is one of the largest and wildest parks in Tanzania, known for big elephant herds, lions, baobab trees and the Great Ruaha River. This fly-in safari starts in Zanzibar, so you skip long road transfers and reach the park by light aircraft. You spend two nights at Ruaha Hilltop Lodge and join shared game drives in a 4x4 safari vehicle. A good choice if you are on a Zanzibar beach holiday and want a remote safari.
