Upon arrival at Iringa Airport—or via a morning flight from Dar es Salaam—you’ll be met and transferred to Ruaha National Park, a scenic drive of approximately 2 to 3 hours from Iringa.
Settle into your lodge or tented camp located within the park. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at your leisure, or, if time permits, embark on an optional sunset game drive to catch your first glimpse of Ruaha’s incredible wildlife.
After an early breakfast, set off on an exhilarating full-day game drive through the diverse landscapes of Ruaha National Park. Discover the wildlife-rich areas along the Great Ruaha River, the Mwagusi Sand River, and the surrounding miombo woodlands.
Keep your eyes peeled for iconic African wildlife, including lions, elephants, kudu, giraffes, zebras, leopards, and an impressive variety of over 570 bird species.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the wilderness before continuing your exploration. Return to camp by evening for a hearty dinner and time to unwind.
Begin your day with an early morning guided walking safari, accompanied by a professional guide and armed ranger. Experience the thrill of tracking wildlife on foot while gaining fascinating insights into the local flora and animal behavior.
Return to camp for a well-deserved breakfast, then enjoy some leisure time. In the late afternoon, you have the option to head out on another game drive, this time with a focus on spotting predators and elusive nocturnal animals as the sun sets.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Start your final day with an optional early morning game drive or walking safari to soak in the last moments of Ruaha’s wild beauty.
After breakfast at the lodge, you’ll be transferred to Iringa Airport or board your flight back to Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar.
Customer Review
EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Laetitia BVerified Maassai village and Stonetown tour We experienced a fantastic moment in a Maassai village where we could witness their way of living. They were very friendly. We also did a tour of Stonetown with a very friendly guide who taught us many things about this city. I can only recommend this guide tour, Thomas is very thoughtful (he even gave us a nice gift), helpful and quick to respond. He is very friendly as were the driver and the guide. He also received bottles of water for the excursion which is a very nice touchPosted on ANTONELLA2510Verified Safari fantastico Abbiamo fatto un safari al Serengeti e ngorongoro di 3 giorni e due notti.

It was a great experience! Our Guide Davie matched totally to our expectations and even humor. We did already some Safari so we can say that it was all well organized and Davie has great experience, we spotted all big five several times, and our favorite Cheetah:) of course it needs also luck but also experience and good eyes! We had a great week, we started our journey in Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire to Arusha and the last day we had a nice walk to the waterfall and coffee plantation closed to Kilimajaro. So Davie picked as up in Seronera airport and dropped us at the Kilimajaro airport. They offer also a good price quality for the great service.Posted on Lisa SVerified Alles super! Wir haben eine dreitägige Safari in Tansania über Ngatunga Tours gebucht. Die Abholung am Flughafen, die Unterkünfte und die Safari haben super geklappt und es wirklich eine schöne Erfahrung! Auch als wir nach Sansibar weitergeflogen sind, hat uns Thomas der Manager von Ngatunga Tours immer noch unterstützt und uns Taxis und Ausflüge organisiert. Ich bin sehr zufrieden, es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub!Posted on Simone NVerified Rundum alles super!! Wir haben zuerst eine 3 tägige Safari in Tanzania gemacht. Hier waren wir in drei verschiedenen Nationalparks. Von der Anreise mit Abholung am Flughafen bis zur Safari sowie Unterbringung im Hotel war alles super organisiert. Thomas, der Manager war immer über WhatsApp erreichbar und hat sehr schnell geantwortet. Anschließend sind wir weiter nach Zanzibar geflogen. Auch hier lief alles reibungslos. Thomas organisierte uns Taxis sowie weitere Tagesausflüge (Spice Tour/ Stone Town). Vielen Dank für deine Gastfreundschaft und Hilfestellung jederzeit! Ich kann es nur empfehlen ☺️Posted on MelaniaVerified Consigliato! Abbiamo prenotato con loro il Safari di tre giorni: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara.. abbiamo visto tantissimi animali!!
