Our journey begins with a flight from Dar es Salaam into the rugged landscapes of Ruaha National Park. Known for its impressive elephant herds and predator populations, Ruaha offers a wild and remote safari experience.

This morning, we’ll take in more of Ruaha’s extraordinary beauty before catching a flight to Mikumi National Park.
