Tanzania's largest park, big lion prides and walking safaris, flown in from Dar es Salaam to remote Jongomero.
Ruaha is for travellers who want the wild Africa of old. It is Tanzania’s largest park, and yet it sees only a fraction of the visitors of the north. The lion prides here are some of the biggest on the continent.
Jongomero is in the far southwest of the park, a long way from any other camp. Walking safaris here are superb.
