Tour Guide, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania
| 1 mins read
The picturesque savannas of Ruaha are concealed in the interior of Tanzania’s backwards, in an area fed by the Great Ruaha River. The awesome scenery of this area consists of tolling plains interrupted by gentle hills and smooth rocky outcrops, all framed by mighty baobabs. One might wonder at the unique combination represented by the visual beauty of this park, but if the best features of the Tarangire and Serengeti NPs were put together, the result might be very much what we see here.
The amazingly profuse wildlife sums up almost everything that is essential to the Tanzanian savanna environment. All five great predators, both species of kudu antelope and both of the horse-like antelopes, to name only a few outstanding pieces in the wildlife jigsaw puzzle, are part of the widely diverse fauna of the Ruaha ecosystem. The bird life to be found in the wetlands can leave nobody cold.
