6-Day Ruaha Fly-In Safari with Night Game Drive from Dar es Salaam

After breakfast, catch a morning flight from Dar es Salaam to Iringa. Upon arrival, your guide will meet you and transfer you to Ruaha National Park, passing through the Southern Highlands with its picturesque landscapes and remote charm. Arrive at Ruaha River Lodge, a beautifully set camp along the Great Ruaha River. Settle in and enjoy the serenity of the bush as you prepare for the days of adventure ahead.

Today is dedicated to exploring the vast and diverse terrain of Ruaha National Park. Your experienced guide will lead you through river valleys, baobab-dotted hills, and open plains in search of elephants, lions, leopards, kudu, and the rare African wild dogs. Stop for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot before continuing your game drive into the afternoon. Return to the lodge and enjoy dinner under the stars.

Venture deeper into Ruaha for a second full day of game driving. Explore different regions of the park and increase your chances of spotting more predators and rare species. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the park’s ecosystem, and you’ll witness the dramatic contrast between open plains, rocky kopjes, and riverine forests.

Start your day with a guided walking safari, led by a professional armed ranger. This immersive experience allows you to learn about animal tracks, plant uses, bird calls, and the smaller details often missed in a vehicle. Return to camp in time for lunch and spend the afternoon at leisure—reading, enjoying the views, or taking a nap with the sounds of nature around you. Later evening you'll go for a night game drive

After breakfast, drive back to Iringa for your scheduled flight to Dar es Salaam. Arrive in the city in the early afternoon, where you’ll be dropped off at your preferred location or assisted with your onward journey.
