This is the biggest park in Tanzania, covering about 22,000 sq km. Here wildlife is concetrating along the cascading great Ruaha river which is the parks of blood. Home to hippos and crocodiles snacking on school of fish. Its a flooded terrain after the rain dwindling to precious pools sorounded by blinding sweep of gazelles risking their lives for a sip of its water… permanent hunting ground for lions, leopards, hunting dogs, hyenas and jackals. Lack enough you can also have a chance to see both leaser and greater kudus, sable and roan antelopes here. Ruaha is the only protected area in the world where flora and fauna of eastern and southern Africa overlaps

With an area about 3230 km (Tanzania’s 4th largest park) Mikumi is the one of the largest park for both tourists and local people. The park is framed the Uluguru mountains to the north east and the Udzungwa mountains to the south west and the Selous game reserve to the south. The park itself consists mainly of Miombo wood land although the scenery gets a little tedious after a while. Sighting of the plain games like impala, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, elephants, hippo and crocodiles are common enough. One of the most principla feature of Mikumi Park is the Mkata River flood plain (an area of lash vegetation which particulary attracts alot of wild life). The abscence of gazelles in this park is curious – it seems their ecological niche is occupied by impala. Mikumi and Selous game reserve are lying on the same ecosystem, which covers large part of central and southern Tanzania. (This ecosystem stretches to within 150 km of the mOzambique border, whose Niasa game reserve wa formaly part of it). Predators which can be seen in Mikumi include lions, leopards(more dificult to see), black backed jackals (can sometimes be seen in the evening), and the African Civet who is the noctural visitor in most of the camps. Mikumi bird life is profuse, with over 400 species recorded to date, most of the Eurasian migrants, present between October and April
