Strike out on a multi-day walking safari following the Ruaha River exploring untrodden corners of this game-rich national park.

Thirty years since we first set foot in Ruaha and how this park has remained such a secret, delights and mystifies us in equal measure. Ruaha is remote, vast and wild and the beauty of its landscape is jaw-dropping. Innumerable herds of buffalo, a profusion of predators, ancient baobabs, immense boulders, sweeping sand rivers... and not a soul in sight.

Location over luxury

This private walking safari takes you on a unique 3-night walking adventure in lesser known areas of Ruaha swapping creature comforts for private wilderness.

Our Expeditionary Walking Camp is fully mobile; A-frame tents that pack up and move allowing you to explore areas otherwise unaccessible. This is a camp designed with mobility at heart and swapping luxury for location.

July to October

When to go

We believe the dry season in Ruaha is nothing short of magical and wildlife of all kinds abounds. Days spent exploring quietly on foot make a safari experience in Ruaha unbeatable. So we only offer our multi-day walking safaris from July to October to ensure the best walking experience and game viewing.

It is also a wonderful time of year to combine with our gorgeous bush camp, Kigelia. Head there for a couple of nights after your walking safari and you've got an epic safari combo.

Baobabs, Kopjes and wide rolling grassland

Ruaha is a little visited and scenically stunning park that offers some of the best dry season game viewing in Tanzania.
