The best time to visit Ruaha National Park is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to October. During this period, wildlife congregates around the park's water sources, making it easier to spot animals, including elephants, lions, and other predators. The weather is also more pleasant, with less rain and lower humidity.
- June to October: Ideal for game viewing, as animals are more concentrated around rivers and waterholes.
- November to April: The wet season, which is quieter and less crowded, offers lush landscapes, but wildlife can be harder to spot due to thick vegetation and more dispersed water sources.
If your main goal is wildlife viewing, the dry season is the best choice.
