Nature Exploration, Animal Tracks and Time Together Outdoors

Begin the morning with a guided walking safari, offering a different way to experience Ruaha’s natural environment together.

The activity is subject to park regulations, safety conditions and minimum age requirements. After the walk, return to your accommodation for refreshments and a short rest before heading out for an afternoon game drive of approximately 2–3 hours. Explore selected areas of the park while searching for elephants, antelopes, giraffes and other wildlife.
