Ruaha National Park | Amazing Wildlife Safari at Kigelia Ruaha Camp | Tanzania 2022 | 4K-Video

Wildlife and birds are abundant in the wonderful landscape of the Ruaha National Park. A big lion pride with cubs on the move passed right next to our car, leopards were hiding in the tree tops and black-backed jackals were looking for the next meal. In the dried-out river beds, elephants were digging for fresh water and nile crocodiles and hippopotamus retreated to the last remaining water pools. Occasionally impalas came down to the river to drink and water birds were looking for the last remaining fishs. A big herd of cape buffalo wandered across the plain and enjoyed a mud bath. The grass plains are home to the greater kudu, common eland, Grant's gazelle, impala, oribi, dik-dik, the plains zebra and Masai giraffe. Birding was excellent and the Ruaha National Park offers a huge variety of birds.

Welcome to our birding and wildlife safari to the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania in July 2022. We stayed four nights at the wonderful Kigelia Ruaha Camp and would like to thank the excellent staff and our amazing guide for this unforgettable safari.
