After breakfast, you will have a full-day game viewing drive in the park. A fine network of game-viewing roads follows the Great Ruaha and its seasonal tributaries.
During the dry season, Impala, waterbuck, and other antelopes risk their life for a sip of life-sustaining water, and the risk is considerable, not only from the prides of 20-plus lions that lord over the savannah, but also from the cheetahs that stalk the open grassland and the leopards that lurk in tangled riverine thickets. This impressive array of large predators is boosted by both striped and spotted hyena, as well as several conspicuous packs of the highly endangered African wild dog.
Lunch at Ruaha River Lodge inside the park. After lunch, you will proceed with an evening game drive until evening, where you will go back to the Hotel for cover night.
