National Park Nature / Park Must See
Iconic undulating landscape dotted with wildlife defines Ruaha National Park, one of the largest parks in Africa. Open grasslands covering 45,000 sq km (17,000 sq mi) with 20,226 sq km (7,809 sq mi) of wetlands support about 10,000 roaming elephants and 571 bird species, including hornbills, kingfishers, and sunbirds as well as migrating white storks. Take a safari to see lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, African wild dogs, monitor lizards, Cape buffalos, and sable antelope in their natural habitat along Ruaha River Gorge, a former German colonial game reserve. Many natural springs and rivers attract large herbivores and predators which hunt them. Use Inspirock's suggestions to plan your Iringa trip and find the best activities and attractions for your vacation.
