When to Visit Ruaha
June to October is the main dry season and a popular period for wildlife viewing. As conditions become drier, remaining water sources become important places to look for animals. tanzaniaparks.go.tz
The wetter months bring greener scenery and seasonal birdlife. Your choice of camp and travel dates matters during this period, so accommodation operations and access should be checked before confirming the trip. Coastal Travels Ltd
