Overview
Ruaha National Park is the second-largest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of 20,226 sq km. The park has a high diversity of both flora and fauna and is considered the home of 10% of the remaining lion population in Africa. The great Ruaha River travels along the southeastern border of the park. The river name serves as the source for the national park name. This water source also serves as a draw for safari game viewing. A second river, Njombe traverses the park through gorges and rocky broken landscapes. Crocodiles can be commonly seen sunning on the banks of the rivers.
