Ruaha Walking Safaris

THE RIVER. THE BAOBABS. THE SOLITUDE.

The grunting leopard at dawn. The giant baobabs. The thrill of walking beside the river’s edge.

A walking safari in Ruaha is wild, raw, and deeply rewarding. Although Ruaha is Tanzania’s largest national park, most of it remains untouched by tourism — leaving vast, remote expanses to explore in near-total solitude.

We focus on a quiet, little-known section of the Ruaha River, which winds through the great miombo woodlands of Southern Tanzania — long considered one of Africa’s last true wilderness frontiers.

A Journey Along The River

Our walking safari in Ruaha is always private and mobile.

Each day, you walk along the riverbanks; each night, we set camp in a new, remote location. With every step, the landscape shifts — from sunlit floodplains to shady groves of jackalberry trees.

Along the way, you might:

• Spot crocodiles and hippos basking in the shallows

• Catch sight of the rare Pel’s fishing owl

• Encounter elegant antelope like roan, sable, and greater kudu

Or — if you’re lucky — witness the elusive and endangered African hunting dog, seen here more than anywhere else

In Ruaha, excitement waits around every bend — and it’s all yours to discover on foot.
