Day 4

Ruaha | Iringa

Ruaha | Iringa

Lions live here in large prides, often numbering over twenty individuals! Leopards and cheetahs love hunting on the open plains, while many smaller species are equally at home here – serval, caracal, civet, genet and banded wildcat. Cheetahs are remarkably common, making seeing the three main cat species very likely – something rare in Africa nowadays.

Other mammals also thrive in Ruaha in abundance. The park’s elephant herds are absolutely humongous! Buffalo are plentiful too, as are zebra, giraffe, hippopotamus and an exciting assortment of antelope species such as roan, sable, eland, impala, gazelle, reedbuck, hartebeest, klipspringer – and the largest population of greater kudu in all of East Africa! Predators, besides the cats, include black-backed jackal, spotted hyena and (less common) striped hyena. The park is also an important area for wild dog, hosting over a hundred dogs at last count.

You will be dropped off in Iringa.
