Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Ruaha is during the dry season from June to October. During this period, wildlife congregates around the park’s water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The dry weather also makes for more comfortable safari conditions and better visibility. The wet season (November to April) brings lush greenery and offers a quieter experience with fewer visitors, though some roads may become difficult to navigate, and wildlife is more dispersed as water is plentiful. For birdwatchers, the wet season is an excellent time, as migratory birds flock to the park.
